This Shrimp and Vegetable Stir Fry is quick, easy, flavorful, and totally customizable.
Stir fried dishes are what I call clean the fridge meals, because I usually use up whatever protein or vegetables I have on hand. I also like to keep some canned vegetables in the pantry like water chestnut and baby corn for added crunch.
What you get is an easy meal that requires short cooking time and minimal clean up – skip the takeout and let’s make some stir fry at home!

Made this tonight, my husband couldn’t stop eating it! Costco had fresh baby corn, so used that instead of canned. I also added 1 tsp grated ginger. So really yummy, and quick to pull together!
