My FIRST STIR FRY!!!!

Szechwan Shrimp from allrecipes.com

sorry it's kind of blurry...so much steam!

(tripled sauce ingredients because I added broccoli!)


Here is my version of it:

• 12 tablespoons water
• 6 tablespoons ketchup
• 3 tablespoon soy sauce
• 6 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 3 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon sliced green onions
• 1/4 cup diced onions
• 8 cloves garlic, minced
• 12 ounces raw shrimp, shells and tails removed
• 1 lb broccoli florets 

Directions

1. In a bowl, stir together water, ketchup, soy sauce, cornstarch, honey, crushed red pepper, and ground ginger. Set aside.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in onions and garlic; cook 30 seconds. Stir in broccoli and half of the sauce and cook for 2 minutes.  Then, stir in shrimp, and toss to coat with oil. Stir in the rest of the sauce. Cook and stir until sauce is bubbly and thickened.

Oh yeah, and instead of cornstarch, I used flour because we didn't have cornstarch.  And we didn't have ground ginger, so my dad rushed out and bought some.  Then he complained about how expensive spices are throughout the evening.

It was delicious!  Although my dad dislikes spice, so he requested that next time I make is less spicy.  Less red pepper, I guess.  And this sauce could probably make stir fried chicken or beef with broccoli too, I'm guessing.  Mmmm....I'm probably going to make this for tomorrow night's dinner too.
