Japanese Style Shrimp Stir-Fry


Yesterday, I shared a recipe with y'all for a Creamy Shrimp Stir-Fry and I promised to follow-up today with the recipe for the other stir-fry I made with shrimp.  I had some people mention that they aren't big seafood eaters or that they don't like shrimp in particular, so I encourage you crazy land-lubbers to try out these recipes with pork chops, ground beef, chicken, turkey, tofu, or whatever tickles your fancy!  :)  Cooking should be fun and where is the fun in following someone else's rules?  I view recipes as suggestions.  I love to read over a recipe to see what flavor combinations someone else uses.  I love to take a recipe and tweak it so that it suits mine & Mr. Robinson's taste buds.  Anyway...

Japanese Style Shrimp Stir-Fry  


This was my lunch today and it was so yummu!  I've not had shrimp for two days in a row and I'm totally fine with that, really.  The only thing that would have made this meal better was if I could have eaten it over rice & topped it off with some of that yummy Japanese White Sauce.  Which I have a homemade recipe for...which makes the most amazing white sauce you've ever eaten....which is extremely unhealthy so I did not make any.

...the ingredients...
.shrimp
.whole baby carrots
.one small can of corn, drained
.onion
.diced squashed
.diced zucchini
.broccoli
.a tiny bit of celery
.low sodium soy sauce
.ginger
.garlic
.salt
.pepper
. sesame seeds

I cooked it in a skillet/frying-pan.  Let the veggies saute and cook down for a while before you add the shrimp.  Ta-Da!  A healthy, filling meal that has all of the flavors of Japanese food without the expensive prices and naughty calories or fat.  I have had the best time using different seasonings to create flavors I crave and STILL eating healthy meals!    

Hope you enjoyed!  :)  What's on your plate?
