Notes
Use oil with a high smoking point, like canola, peanut, or vegetable oil. Get the skillet and oil hot before adding the vegetables and shrimp. Don’t crowd the skillet. Cook in batches and plate the veggies and shrimp. Shrimp cook very quickly. Chinese Five Spice contains anise, cinnamon, star anise, cloves, and ginger; if you don’t like these spices, omit them and season with salt and pepper. Cook the sauce last and add everything back to the pan for a quick warm-up. This recipe works well with other proteins like beef or chicken. If there is a vegetable that you do not like, substitute a different one in its place (e.g., carrots, mushrooms, or bok choy). Do not cook garlic at high heat as it will burn, so add it to the sauce. Stir fry moves very fast and needs your full attention.
