5-minute summer stir-fry

Andreas Trauttmansdorff

Ingredients

  • 340-g pkg frozen uncooked shrimp, peeled

  • 2 bell peppers, preferably 1 orange and 1 red

  • 2 cups sugar snap peas or snow peas, strings removed

  • 1/2 cup stir-fry sauce, preferably Kikkoman

  • 2 cups baby spinach

Instructions

  • Defrost shrimp following package directions. Pat dry with paper towels. Slice peppers into long strips.

  • Lightly coat a large, wide frying pan with oil and set over high heat. When hot, add shrimp. Stir often just until shrimp begin to turn pink, 2 minutes. Then add peppers, peas and sauce. Stir frequently until peppers are tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in spinach just until wilted. Excellent over rice or vermicelli noodles.

We love stir-fries because you can throw in all sorts of great seasonal veggies. A generous shake of store-bought stir-fry sauce quickly and easily adds that classic Asian taste.
