Ingredients

  • Shrimp Raw White P&D Large 31/40 Count (Farm Raised Previously Frozen) 12 oz, thawed and patted dry $7.99/lb (sale)
  • Organic Baby Bok Choy 10–12 oz, halved or quartered $3.99/lb
  • Organic Ginger Root 1 tbsp grated $5.99/lb
  • Kroger® Peeled Garlic 2 cloves, minced $3.69
  • Green Onions 2, sliced $1.50
  • Fresh Organic Limes - Each 1 lime (1 1/2 tbsp juice) $1.29 each
  • Neutral oil 2 tbsp, divided
  • Soy sauce 2 1/2 tbsp
  • Rice vinegar 1 tbsp
  • Sugar 1 tsp
  • Cornstarch 1 1/2 tsp
  • Water 1/4 cup
  • White pepper or black pepper To taste

Instructions

  1. Make sauce: whisk soy sauce, vinegar, lime juice, sugar, water, and cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Heat wok/skillet over high heat. Add 1 tbsp oil.
  3. Add shrimp in a single layer; cook 60–90 seconds until just turning pink. Flip 30–60 seconds. Remove to plate (slightly underdone is fine).
  4. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil. Add garlic + ginger; stir 10–15 seconds.
  5. Add bok choy (cut-side down if halved). Stir-fry 2–3 minutes until stems are crisp-tender and leaves wilt.
  6. Return shrimp and any juices. Pour in sauce (re-whisk first). Toss 30–60 seconds until glossy and shrimp are cooked through.
  7. Finish with sliced green onions and pepper. Serve hot.

Health notes: Lean protein, lots of micronutrients. Keep sauce light by using less oil and only a small cornstarch slurry.

Drink pairing: Green tea, pilsner, or Sauvignon Blanc.
