Shrimp & Vegetable Stir Fry
serves 3-4
Ginger Rice
Parboiled Rice        1 1/2 cups
Water 4 cups
Coriander 1/4 teaspoon
Kosher salt 1 teaspoon
Black pepper         1/4 teaspoon
Butter, unsalted 1 tablespoon
Ground Ginger 1/4 teaspoon
Stir Fry
Canola Oil        1 Tablespoon
Garlic Cloves        4 pieces
finely chopped
Broccoli        1 head
cut into florets
Mixed Vegetables 2 cups
mushrooms, bell peppers etc
Kosher Salt to taste
Black Pepper         to taste
Shrimp (medium) 1 pound
deveined, cleaned, tail off
Teriyaki Sauce as needed
Chopped Cilantro if desired
  1. Prepare Rice: In a small sauce pot, bring 4 cups of water, coriander, salt, pepper and butter to a simmer, then stir in rice.  Bring the rice to a gentle simmer, reduce heat to a low flame, just enough to hold the simmer, cover and allow to simmer for about 18-20 minutes, until tender. When it is ready, stir in the ginger, set aside covered.  Fluff with a fork, when you are ready to serve.
  1. Heat the oil, over a medium heat, in a large skillet pan, and add the chopped garlic. Saute for a minute, add the broccoli and vegetables, season with a touch of salt and pepper and stir fry again for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and cook over a medium high heat for 2-3 minutes until they starts turning pink.
  1. Once the shrimp is cooked through and the veggies start looking bright, add enough sauce to lightly coat the vegetable and the shrimp and keep stirring till it comes to a simmer. Add a little more water if the sauce is too thick. Simmer for a minute or two. Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper if desired and toss in cilantro right before removing from heat. Stir well and serve over rice.
