Shrimp Chop Suey
Chop Suey is that one dish that made me fall in love with vegetables. This dish consists of assorted vegetables cooked in a thick, gravy-like sauce, and loaded with shrimp.
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 pouch Mamacita chop suey mix (if this is not available, please see alternative sauce recipe below)
- 1 cup water
- 1 lb mixed vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, bell peppers)
- 1 can baby corn chopped in bite sizes
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Serve with
- Rice
- Sriracha (optional)
- Lime wedge (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the shrimp and season with salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Toss to coat.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In a wok or large skillet, add your mixed vegetables, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper to the pan and cook until softened about 5-7 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the mamacita mix with water. Whisk together and set aside. (if using an alternative sauce, combine all ingredients at this step as well).
- Add the baby corn and pour the sauce in with the vegetables and bring to a boil. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
- Stir in the shrimp and cook for another minute or two or until heated through.
- Serve immediately over rice. Drizzle Sriracha for heat.
