- Heat the remaining peanut oil for a couple of seconds, then add the shrimp and stir-fry for a minute, or until they have turned pink, promptly remove shrimp and set aside - (you do not want to overcook the shrimp).
- Pour in the reserved marinade, water & cornstarch. Cook briskly, stirring constantly until it is thick/syrupy, a matter of just a minute or so.
- Serve sauce over the shrimp & veggies with your favorite rice.
