Shrimp and Mushroom Stir-Fry: A Stay at Home Parent’s Blog

As a stay at home parent, I am always looking for quick, easy, and delicious meals that the whole family can enjoy. Today, I want to share my favorite recipe for shrimp and mushroom stir-fry. This dish is simple to make and only requires a few ingredients. It’s also packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the dinner table.

I first discovered this recipe when I was living in China. I was visiting a local market one day, and the smell of freshly cooked shrimp and mushrooms grabbed my attention. I knew right away that I had to try it, so I purchased a plate of the stir-fry and immediately fell in love with it. Ever since then, I’ve been making this dish for my family whenever I get the chance.

This recipe is incredibly versatile as well. You can use whatever vegetables you have on hand or swap out the shrimp for chicken or beef if you prefer. You can even make it vegan by omitting the meat altogether. The possibilities are endless!

Now let’s get down to business and talk about how to make this tasty dish. To start, gather your ingredients: 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1 cup of sliced mushrooms, 2 cloves of garlic (minced), 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and salt and pepper to taste.

Once you have all your ingredients together, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Then add the mushrooms and cook until they start to soften (about 2 minutes). Next add the shrimp and cook until they are just cooked through (about 3 minutes).

Add in the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until combined. Cook for another minute or two until everything is heated through. Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles if desired.

This shrimp and mushroom stir-fry is an easy meal that will become a family favorite in no time! It’s also great for busy nights when you don’t have much time to prepare dinner. Plus, it’s packed with flavor that everyone will love. Give it a try tonight and let me know what you think!
