Stir Fry Shrimp



I love this dish because it is so easy to make. And tasty! Plus, it is healthy as well. Can’t go wrong there. 
So, this is one way to make this yummy dish:


1 tablespoon oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Chinese cooking wine
1/4 cup water
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp sesame oil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped or grated ginger
1 cup diced onion
1 stalk escallion
1 cup sliced carrot
1/2 teaspoon japones chile pepper or one sliced habanero pepper (without seeds)
24 large shrimp, shelled and deveined
Approx. 2 cups of mixed vegetables
Add corn starch to thicken sauce if desired

Add the oil to the pot. Then add the black pepper, cumin, sesame oil, the onions, scallions, peppers, garlic and ginger to the pot. Stir for one minute. Add the shrimp and carrots and stir for another two minutes. Add the soy sauce and cooking wine. Cook for about 3 minutes. Add the carrots and mixed vegetables. Place heat on low. Add the water at this point. If you desire a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with the water in a cup, then add to the pot. Cook for another minute. Serve over white or brown rice.
