shrimp stir-fry

Sautéed crustacean dish

Shrimp stir-fry is a dish of shrimp cooked quickly over high heat with vegetables and sauce, typically in a wok.

The technique—constant stirring to prevent sticking—gives the dish its name.

It's a weeknight staple, fast enough for busy schedules: I threw together a shrimp stir-fry with whatever was in the fridge.
