Shrimp makes stir-frying even faster than
it already is, especially when you buy it already shelled and deveined.
When combined with a quick-cooking, tender green vegetable such as snow
peas (or fresh spinach leaves), you can have a beautiful meal ready in
about 10 minutes.
Stir Frying is one of the fastest ways in
and out of the kitchen - if you buy ready-cleaned raw shrimp (fresh is
best, but frozen will do), you can have this dish on the table before a
Chinese restaurant would have time to deliver.
