Ginger Shrimp & Vegetable - Simple, light & good for you too !

When I make Chinese food I always try to include one shrimp dish... this one is delish ! This would even be food on it's own without all the other dishes. Serve with some white or brown rice.

INGREDIENTS :

1 lb raw, jumbo shrimp, steamed about 3-4 mins or buy cooked but I find there is a difference in taste

1 lg carrot, sliced diagonally

1 cup broccoli florets, steamed with little water in a pot covered, only takes a few minutes, don't overcook

1 cup snow peas

1 cup sliced mushrooms

1/2 onion sliced

1- 1/2 cup Vegetable broth

1 Tb ginger minced - I use the minced ginger in the tube that you find in the produce section

1Tb garlic

1 Tb of cornstarch

HOW TO :

Steam the shrimp unless you are buying already cooked shrimp * use jumbo shrimp and not the small one.

In a wok or large pan, add some canola oil, about 2 TB, add sliced carrot and onions... saute for about 3-4 minutes. Then add mushrooms. Saute 2-3 minutes. Then add snow peas and cooked broccoli.

Add the vegetable broth, ginger, garlic to the pan.

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with about 2 Tb of the broth and mix together. Add to the pan and let the sauce thicken.

* you may need more cornstarch if you want it thicker or if too thick add more broth.

Add shrimp and let the shrimp heat through, 2-3 minutes.

Serve with or without rice.

Serve & enjoy every bite !
