Instructions
- Prep 12 ounces Kroger® Large Raw Shrimp Peeled & Deveined Tail Off ($6.99 sale) by thawing if needed and patting dry. Chop 1 pound bok choy ($2.77/lb sale), separating stems and leaves. Slice 8 ounces Kroger® Sliced White Mushrooms ($2.49) if needed. Peel and finely chop a 2-inch piece of ginger from the Spice World™ Fresh Peeled Ginger Bag ($3.99). Mince 2 cloves from 1 garlic bulb ($0.69 each). Slice 1 bunch green onions ($1.29).
- If serving with pantry noodles or rice, start that first. A quick ramen noodle cake, rice noodles, or steamed rice all work well here.
- In a bowl, toss the 12 ounces shrimp ($6.99 sale) with 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon oil, and a pinch of black pepper.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon oil. Add the 12 ounces shrimp and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes per side until just pink. Remove to a plate so they do not overcook.
- Add the chopped bok choy stems from the 1 pound bok choy ($2.77/lb sale), the 8 ounces mushrooms ($2.49), the chopped 2-inch ginger piece ($3.99), and the 2 minced garlic cloves ($0.69 bulb) to the skillet with another small drizzle of oil if dry. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the mushrooms soften and the bok choy stems become crisp-tender.
- Add the bok choy leaves from the 1 pound bok choy and 3 tablespoons water. Cook 1 to 2 minutes until wilted. Return the 12 ounces shrimp to the pan with 1 to 2 tablespoons soy sauce from pantry and half the sliced green onions from the 1 bunch ($1.29). Toss for 30 seconds until glossy.
- Serve the shrimp and vegetables over pantry noodles or rice, and top with the remaining sliced green onions from the 1 bunch ($1.29). If you have a lemon or lime on hand, a squeeze at the table is great.
- Wine pairing: choose off-dry Riesling for the best all-around match, or Sauvignon Blanc if you want something brisk and dry.
Cook time: 30 minutes
Estimated cost: $13-17
Health notes: About 430-540 calories per serving before noodles or rice, depending on oil used. High in protein, packed with vegetables, and easy to lighten further by serving over steamed vegetables instead of noodles.
Drink pairing: Off-dry Riesling is the best fit for ginger and soy-driven shrimp; Sauvignon Blanc also works if you prefer a drier, citrusy white.
