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.
