SPICY SHRIMP STIR-FRY



Spicy Shrimp Stir-Fry image

I've always hated stir-fry that skimps on the shrimp, so I made sure this recipe had more shrimp than anything else. Serve over plain or Ginger Coconut Rice. This recipe comes from Out of the Frying Pan.

SPICY SCREAMIN' SZECHUAN STIR FRY



Spicy Screamin' Szechuan Stir Fry image

This was the other main dish at my Chinese New Year's party. Several guests declined a second chopstick load and requested large amounts of water, others went back for thirds. Depends on how much you treasure the continued existence of your taste buds...and don't be scared by the long ingredients list, they're all simple and easy. Serve this alongside something savory, follow with something cool and sweet, and vary the marinade and number of chilies according to taste. I used long, skinny 'pyro peppers' in this version. Oh, and try to resist the temptation to turn the heat down -- high heat is important to a quick stir fry, though it does make the chilies and chili oil quite pungent.
