Ingredients

• Shrimps – Shrimps come in a wide variety of sizes. For this stir fry, I would go with medium-sized ones. A good reason for this is we will serve this on top of rice or noodles; one bite can have a mix of shrimp, rice, and veggies.
  • I have left the tail on because I like the crunch of it, and the tails make it easy to pick the shrimp. You may prefer to remove the tails, especially if your children do not like them.
  • Ensure the shrimps you buy are cleaned properly with their head removed and deveined. An effective way to devein is to place a toothpick in the back where the blue line of the vein is visible and pull it out.
• Vegetables – You can choose several vegetables that go well with this dish. I have gone ahead with Zucchini, Green onions. I love the flavor and color that Red and Yellow peppers bring to the dish. You could also choose between –
  • Brocolli
  • Asparagus
  • Green beans
  • Bok choy
• Sauce – This sweet chili shrimp stir fry has  Soy sauce and Thai sweet chili sauce.

Instructions

  Sear the shrimps on each side for about 2 minutes on medium-high heat. The shrimps would have a light pink color on them. Keep the fried shrimps aside.

• Stir fry the veggies – Add the chopped veggies and stir fry them for about 4-5 minutes. The veggies should be crisp yet cooked through.
• Add Shrimps and Sauce – First, add shrimps, and then add soy sauce, Thai sweet chilli sauce and green onion Toss them until all the shrimps and veggies appear coated with the sauce. This should take 2 – 3 minutes.
