Garlic Ginger Shrimp Stir Fry

I tried a YUMMY new shrimp recipe tonight! My husband is out of town for work travel (he hates seafood) so I get to try new seafood recipes every once in awhile! This one came from the Steamy Kitchen and reminded me of a PF Chang's recipe I love so much! This one was really easy to make...almost too easy to make.

This one is Gluten free (make sure your soy sauce is Gluten free and read your label on the oyster sauce). I paired this with brown rice, threw in some sugar snap peas and broccoli and it turned out great!

Enjoy!


Ingredients:


  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Handful fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails left intact optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
  • 5 stalks green onion, chopped (white and light green parts)
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely minced or grated


Directions:


  • In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, soy sauce and cilantro and set aside.
  • Pat the shrimp very dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, add shrimp and cornstarch and toss to coat.
  • In a wok or large saute pan over high heat, add half the olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. When the wok is very hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook partially until one side is seared brown, about 1 minute. Flip and sear the other side of each shrimp, about one more minute. They don't need to be cooked all the way through yet. Remove them to a plate or bowl and set aside.
  • Turn the heat down to medium and let wok cool off a bit to prevent the aromatics from burning. Add the remaining olive oil and add green onion, garlic and ginger and stir fry for a minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the sauce mixture and add the shrimp back into the pan. Stir fry for another minute until shrimp is cooked through. 
  • Add your sugar snap peas and broccoli and stir fry for about 3 to 5 minuted.
  • Serve immediately.

Marinated Flank Steak

Oh my goodness this is a fabulous marinade recipe for flank steak. I'm a huge fan of flank steak, but this marinade is over the top in flavor! It's so super easy to make this. Last night, I got home from the gym at 10:00pm, whipped up this marinade in 10 minutes and let it marinate in the fridge on my flank steak for 16 hours. I got home from work today, popped it on the grill and it was ready in 15 minutes. So easy and if you are a "plan ahead" kind of person, you'll appreciate this recipe.

This is gluten free BUT make sure you read the label of your soy sauce. Some brands of soy sauce have gluten and some don't...so read those labels! Check your Dijon mustard label too.

Enjoy - this one is amazing and I have no idea where it came from. I've had this recipe stuck away in an old folder  since 2006 so I'm claiming it as mine :)

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, mined (use fresh)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
Directions:
  • In a medium bowl, mix the oil, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic and the ground blank pepper. Place meat in a shallow glass dish. Pour marinade over the steak, turning the meat to coat it thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.


  • Preheat your grill for medium-high heat.
  • Place the grill on the steak. Grill meat for 7 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.
