Deb's tips
- If you are using frozen shrimp make sure to thaw them first. Blot dray with a paper towel so that you can get them nice and dry for a great sear.
- Make sure to cook the vegetables until they are just tender-crisp. Don't overcook the veggies!
- This dish can be served with noodles, white rice, or your favorite grain.
- I like to garnish this dish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, or even a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Variations
- You could use different types of protein such as chicken breasts or beef.
- You can also add a variety of vegetables such as red bell peppers, zucchini, snow peas, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots water chestnuts, bok choy, or edamame.
- Swap out the Kung Pao sauce for your favorite stir fry sauce like oyster sauce, or hoisin sauce.
- Top with some chopped peanuts to add even more flavor and crunch.
- Add a touch of heat to this skillet meal by sprinkling with red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
- If you want to add a little more flavor to this flavorful sauce you can add in soy sauce or a splash of sesame oil.
Storage
Refrigerate - Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat - To reheat, add a splash of chicken broth or water to thin the thickened sauce and heat in the microwave for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Alternatively, you can also reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
Freeze - If you used fresh instead of frozen shrimp then this dish can be frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze, transfer the cooled leftovers to an airtight container and store in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat as directed above.
