After a long week of work and activities this 13-minute shrimp dish hits the spot on time and flavor. Precooked cocktail shrimp cut out a lot of the prep time and work while the quickly stir-fried vegetables round out the dish in a snap. More like a warm slad than traditional stir-fry, this dish still excels served over steamed rice to catch all the flavorful sauce. Double your batch for a bigger crew or make for one and enjoy the leftovers for a quick weekend lunch. Leftover chicken, cubed, also works well in place of the shrimp.
