Ingredients

  • 12 ounces cremini mushrooms, quartered or sliced
  • 1 pound large shrimp (31-35 per pound), peeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 scallions, chopped
  • For the simple stir fry sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Serving and garnish
  • Cooked white rice, to serve
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Make the stir fry sauce:  Whisk together the chicken stock, garlic, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the mushrooms:  In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, add olive oil and mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms soften and turn brown in spots around the edges, about 8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the shrimp:  Once the mushrooms are cooked to your liking, add the shrimp to the skillet. If the skillet is very dry, add a fresh drizzle of oil to it to ensure the shrimp doesn’t stick. Cook, stirring constantly, until shrimp are cooked through and no longer translucent, 2-3 minutes.  

  4. 4

    Finish the stir fry:  Once shrimp are cooked, add all the stir fry sauce to the skillet and stir to combine. The finished sauce should just coat the stir fry ingredients, almost like a thin gravy. If the sauce thickens too much, stir in extra water by the tablespoon. If the sauce is too thin, let it simmer for 1-2 minutes and it will thicken. Lastly, stir in the chopped scallions.  

  5. 5

    Serve: Serve the shrimp stir fry spooned over cooked white rice garnished with sesame seeds. Did you love the recipe? Leave us some stars below!
