FAQs

Can I use frozen shrimp?

Yes! Just thaw them in the fridge overnight or run under cold water before cooking.

What if I don’t have oyster sauce?

You can substitute hoisin sauce or a mix of soy sauce and a little brown sugar.

Can I add other vegetables?

Absolutely! Bell peppers, snap peas, or mushrooms work great.

How do I keep shrimp from overcooking?

Cook just until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side, then remove from heat.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! Cook everything and store it separately from the rice for the best texture.

What can I serve this with?

Serve over steamed rice, quinoa, or noodles for a complete meal.

Can I use chicken instead of shrimp?

Yes! Slice chicken thinly and cook for about 5-6 minutes before adding veggies.

What oil is best for stir-frying?

Vegetable, canola, or peanut oil work best because they have high smoke points.

Can I double the sauce?
