Notes

  • If serving shrimp stir fry over rice, prepare the rice before you start cooking the shrimp stir fry since rice takes a bit longer to cook. 
  • To prepare the sauce ahead of time, mix the sauce ingredients together and keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. 
  • You can also chop the broccoli and bell peppers ahead of time and keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Keep leftovers in the refrigerator covered, and when you are ready to reheat add everything to a skillet on medium-low heat until the desired temperature.
