Shirmp Stir-fry

Serves 1 - 2

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 7 minutes

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup raw shrimp, shelled and deveined
• 1 tsp Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
• pinch of salt
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1/2 cup bamboo shoots, rinsed in warm water and drained
• 5 - 6 baby carrots, chopped in half
• 2 TB low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• 1/4 tsp sugar
• 2 teaspoons chili sauce
• 1 green onion (optional)

Preparation:

Soak the shrimp in warm, lightly salted water for 5 minutes. Rinse in cold water, drain and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a small bowl, add the rice wine and salt, and marinate for 10 minutes.

While shrimp is marinating, prepare the vegetables.

Heat a wok or frying pan and add oil for stir-frying. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and stir-fry briefly until the flavor is released (about 15 seconds).

Add the shrimp and vegetables and stir fry for about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, chile sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. Stir-fry for another 2 - 3 minutes. Stir in the green onion. Serve hot over brown rice.
