Only 5 minutes to make this flavorful SWEET and SPICY SHRIMP and ZUCCHINI STIR-FRY! Quick and easy deliciousness!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, crushed
- 2 medium to large Zucchini, halved then sliced into half-inch chunks
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce, or to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 lb raw jumbo Shrimps, peeled and deveined
- Salt, to taste
- 3-5 tbsp Sweet Chili Sauce, diluted with about 3-7 tablespoons of water, or to taste (adjust heat to your liking)
- Sesame oil, just a few drops
Instructions
- Heat up a wok or a large frying pan to high heat. Swirl in the vegetable oil. Add the garlic and cook very briefly just until aromatic, a few seconds only. Add the zucchini slices and drizzle the soy sauce on top. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes or until tender. Season with a little ground pepper, to taste.
- Push the zucchini to the side of the wok/frying pan. If the pan/wok is quite dry at this point, add a little more oil. Place the shrimp in one layer. Let it cook for 1 minute without stirring. Season with a little salt (just a pinch). After 1 minute, stir-fry with the zucchini until it has turned fully opaque, about 1 more minute.
- Quickly, stir in the sweet chili sauce and coat the zucchini and shrimp. Add a few drops of sesame oil to the mix. Serve immediately with some freshly cooked rice.Enjoy!
