Schezwan Stirfry with Shrimps

This is a very easy and very fast meal. I made it one night when I came back from work and was too tired t make a big dinner. simple but very filling. need recipes? let me know!



This was also Dinner one night.. the picture did not turn out as nice as I wanted it to but yup..:) This is Grilled fish with some rice and coleslaw...BIG DINNER! I think I was really hungry!



Shrimp Stirfry
1pound of shrimp(or how eva many you like)
-szechwan sauce(or any strifry sauce you like)
-chinese noodles(or pasta. Chinese noodles cook in like 3mins. So I prefer them)
-mixed veggies
-onions
-oil
-spices(Maggie,pepper,salt,garlic,ginger,curry, etc)

Spice the shrimp with salt, curry, and pepper,in a separate pot and boil it till cooked.

Put water on fire in a separate pot, add a pinch of salt

In a frying pan, put a tablespoon of oil and let it become hot

Take your chopped onions and mixed veggies and put it in the pan to fry till they are slightly brown...

Next add spices to the mixed veggies(depends on how you want the food to taste) mix.

Add the shrimps to the pan and add szechwan sauce(or any stir fry sauce) mix. Let it cook for like 3-5mins.

while the sauce is cooking, put the chinese noodles in the boiling water. Cook until soft. It takes it like 3mins to get soft.

Strain noodles and add to the sauce. Stir and cook for another 2mins.

And viola you have shrimp stir fry. You can also use chicken with the recipe.

So I use this blog to practice my photography as you can see. I am looking for people to donate to my DSLR fund..lol..:) Please now you guys!!!
