  1. Actually this recipe should have more stars. Sorry previous people had a problem and issues. I've made this a number of times and intend to do it again and again. Yes, I first made it as written. Yes, I have kicked it up. DH & I love spicy food and I have made minor changes with this recipe. To begin with I don't butterfly my shrimp. (waste of time & and not necessary.) The marinade is great. (I do add 1 more minced clove of garlic.-love that garlic) There even was a time the shrimp was in the marinade overnight. It was still great. I have to admit I have only used fresh spinach. (frozen would work if drained very well and blotted dry) I do my Walnuts in my Wok first and set aside. Next I do the shrimp in the Wok until just about done (hate overcooked shrimp) and put them aside. Next I do my veggies till done and then add the sauce, spinach and my shrimp just to warm them up. Top it all with the Walnuts. (Now and then I sprinkle a bit of Sesame Oil on it.) This recipe is easy to do and you can make it as spicy as you want. More ginger, garlic or red pepper flakes will do it. Prep is the key to success. Just try it. You will love it. Thank you Ashley U. for a favorite.
     
  2. In this strange recipe there seems no indication of when the SHRIMP get's stir fried. For new cooks this appears a rather catastrophic omission.
     
  3. This was not at all spicy ~ I believe the sauce would benefit GREATLY by adding more garlic cloves, changing out the ketchup with chili sauce, and adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes! I subbed slivered carrots and broccoli for the red and green peppers in the recipe.
