Awesome only thing I swapped out was the sherry didn’t have any used white wine instead (pinot grigio) making this again for dinner
Delicious. Easy. Love this recipe!!
I played with this recipe.
I roasted the asparagus & pepper for 15 mins at 400 after spraying them with Pam & sprinkling with garlic salt. At that point I added one pound of 16-20 sized raw shrimp-sprayed with z butter Pam and roasted ,still at 400 for another 10 mins.
I added the sesame oil to the sauce ingredients and along with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch , 1/2 t granulated garlic & 1/2 t ground ginger . I added the sauce to a wok along with the roasted veggies & shrimp & a ladle of the starchy water from 6 Oz of whole wheat linguini along with the cooked pasta , tossed all together.
Served 4 .
Delicious!! I’ve made this several times, each time a little different than before, adding in a variety of veggies. Easy and delicious!!Â
This was fast, easy, and delicious! I added some sugar snap peas, red onion, and basil.
I served it with some brown rice and a sprinkle of everything but the bagel seasoning.
I liked this very much. I did add mushrooms, onion and a red pepper. I was not sure what chili pepper but I used a poblano pepper. Also after adding the shrimp and sauce, I did add some sriracha sauce.
Used the recipe guidelines and added a little of my own. Thank you & love your website!
What kind of chili pepper?
Just wondering could you add honey to this dish so you hot and sweet?
I don’t have sherry what could I replace it with?
This is so yummy!!! A+
I didn’t have a chili pepper so I used 1 t red pepper flakes.
I have decided I don’t need a Recipe board on Pinterest, I just use your website. Thank you so much for sharing such nutritious, tasty recipes!Â
Yay! Thank you!
What kind of chili pepper should be used in this?
My friend wants to visit in my house and I'm looking for some dish that I can cook for him. And I think this is the perfect food that I can serve to him.
Easy Stir Fry
I followed the recipe and added other veggies like broccoli, carrots, onions, and mushrooms. It came out like a stir-fry and tasted sensational. I recommend that if you're looking for an extra CRUNCH
This was awesome! the whole family loved it, will definitely be making this again 🙂
I've had to go gluten free recently and I was craving stir fry – low and behold Gina saves the day AGAIN! I made this for dinner last night and Oh My Word, it was DELICIOUS! So good and so easy.
this looks great… but whats the measurement for a serving?

Hi Gina,
How many points is this recipe using the new points plus system?? I want to prepare this on Friday! Thanks
Yes, that is fine! It will still be tasty.
If I dont have sesame oil, can I use olive oil instead? Also I do not have ginger, is that ok?
I made this last night and we liked it alot. Instead of a chili pepper, I used 1/4 t of red pepper flakes and I used a red pepper instead of a bell pepper – quite yummy and going into our regular rotation.

I linked back to you in my post. Just FYI, you don’t list garlic in the ingredients list, but it’s mentioned in the recipe, so I guessed and used two cloves. Thanks again for the great recipe, and I hope to use more!
This recipe looks absolutely delicious! I will definitely try it out – thanks 🙂
This looks yummy! I love shrimp, so I think I’ll try this tomorrow.
All I can say is , yum!
