Directions
I love a good stir fry, and trying new ways to make Chinese restaurantworthy meals in my own kitchen. A few favorites are lightened up General Tso Chicken, and Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry. This shrimp dish, made with orange juice and orange zest, scallions and red pepper flakes for some kick is a new favorite!,This whole dish takes under 20 minutes to make. The recipe was adapted from Chrissy Teigens Cookbook, Cravings Hungry For More (affiliate link). Her gorgeous cookbook is filled with lots of dishes I cant wait to try, but I especially love her Asian recipes. Since her recipes arent low calorie, I just make a few tweaks to lighten them. For this recipe, I increased the shrimp and sauce to make the dish a bit more substantial and used a bit less honey and oil. It came out fantastic and was sweet enough with the fresh orange!,To save time, I like to buy peeled shrimp. I prefer to buy my shrimp frozen since fresh is not available, rather than thawed which may have been sitting out a few days.,To thaw frozen shrimp, I transfer it to the refrigerator the night before or I run it under cool water for a few minutes in the sink.,If youre making this for the kids and dont want it spicy, you can leave out the red pepper flakes and just add it to your dish before serving.,You can serve this over basmati or brown rice, or try it over cauliflower fried rice to keep it low-carb.,,Cilantro Lime Shrimp,Bang Bang Shrimp,Garlic Shrimp,Spicy Shrimp Fried Rice,Easy Roasted Lemon Garlic Shrimp
