NOT-SO-PRO TIPS

I honestly enjoy this meal with just a fork but if you want some extra heartiness, serve with brown rice or bread for that extra yummy sauce. I always keep a bag of frozen, uncooked shrimp on hand. That way, I always have the amount I need available without worrying about safety or freshness

Not a fan of shrimp? You can definitely swap it out for chicken, tofu or your preferred protein. You can also switch up the veggies according to your preference. I’d recommend broccoli or sliced carrots.

This sauce thickens into a glaze like consistency very quickly so you have to keep an eye on it and stir regularly. If it does get too thick, remove from heat and loosen it up with a bit more soy sauce
