Shrimp Stir Fry
I have made variations of this for years. This is a good breakdown for a good set of ingredients. Chicken can easily be substituted for shrimp in this or go with a Tri-Version and use shrimp chicken and beef.
Main Dishes / Seafood

Difficulty: easy
Ingredients
- 1 medium red bell pepper (green and orange are fine as well)
- 1 cup (175 g) broccoli
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
- Sauce
- 3 tbsp oyster sauce
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp dry sherry
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
Directions
- Wash all your vegetables. Cut the red bell pepper into strips and the broccoli and zucchini
- into small pieces. Wash shrimp with cold water and dry them well with paper towels.
- In a small bowl mix the oyster sauce, soy sauce, dry sherry, sesame oil, garlic and
- cornstarch. Mix well and set aside.
- Heat a large pan or wok at high heat. Add one tablespoon of oil and stir fry the vegetables
- for about 2-3 minutes. Put a lid on leaving a gap to steam them for about a minute. Remove
- the vegetables and set aside.
- Heat the remainder tablespoon of oil in the same pan or wok and add the shrimp. Cook for
- about 3 minutes until they turn pink. Lower the heat to medium, add the cooked vegetables
- and stir fry for another minute.
- Add the sauce and stir fry to cover the shrimp and vegetables thoroughly. Serve immediately
- on a bed of rice.
Notes
- Variations
- 1. If you want to have crispier shrimp, coat the shrimp in corn starch and then ‘fry’ them in
- the wok in a little oil. After they are half done, add the cooked vegetables and sauce and
- finish cooking them. Serve immediately while hot.
