Shrimp and Broccolini Stir-Fry image

This is based on a recipe from a Gourmet magazine pamphlet titled "Every Day Meals". The intro to the recipe states, "If you have regular broccoli on hand, you could use the florets as a substitute for the Broccolini (a cross between broccoli and Chinese kale), though the flavor will be somewhat different. Round out this stir-fry with cooked white rice."
