I would cut down on the cayenne pepper. It's so overpowering that it's hard to taste the other flavors. -
Thoroughly enjoyed these flavors. My only recommendation is to turn the heat down to medium at step 5. The sauce is easily burned and sticks quite well to the wok by the end of step 6. Surprising and definitely repeatable. -
Wonderful recipe! I also halved it. The mustard flavor was a bit dominant (for me), as would be expected from just reading the ingredients I suppose! I will use less next time. Very nice change of pace to have the mustard flavor in a stirfry though. Also, VERY quick and easy! Thanks so much for the recipe! <3 -
I've always thought mustard furnishes a refreshing, tangy accent to broccoli and was eager to see how well shrimp worked into the combination. The answer is, "very successfully." I halved the recipe (except the 2 Tbs water), which cut down on the shrimp preparation time, so this was a VERY quick and easy dinner to prepare. Recommended!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
