Sriracha Shrimp Stiry Fry

Wow! Where has the month gone?  It just seems like October started and now in less than 2 weeks we will be headed into November.  Yikes!  I had better get crackin on my October To Do List....because I know that I have a few  things left on there.....mainly getting Mr. Jacob a Halloween costume.   Guess what I will be doing this week.  Really I don't mind it is one of those things that I know soon he will outgrow and then I will miss it.  So...I just enjoy these moments because I know the older he gets the fewer we will have. 

So....let's  move on before I get all weepy over the fact that my boys are getting older.

Ever have one of those days when you are craving "Spicy"?  Sadly, I probably have more cravings for spicy things than I do for sweets. 

One of my husbands favorite meals is a big bowl of stir fry veggies with rice.....or even noodles.  With or without a protein....he really doesn't mind.  And actually we all love this as well...but he would literally eat it every other day.  It had been a week or so since I had used the wok so I thought lets have spicy stir fry!  It's a win-win for everyone.....and my craving will be satisfied.

I found this recipe for the shrimp marinade over at www.godofscrumprecipes.tumblr.com and of course I pinned it because I knew someday it would be used....and I was right.  In fact it will definitely be a go to when I need spicy shrimp....yes...it is that good.

Sriracha Shrimp

 

1 pound medium-size shrimps (heads removed and peeled)

1 Tablespoon Sriracha

1 Tablespoon Oyster Sauce

Salt and Pepper

2 Tablespoons butter

5 cloves garlic, minced

 

1. Marinate shrimps in sriracha, oyster sauce, salt and pepper for 5-10 minutes.

2. Place wok or skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter then saute garlic until softened and fragrant (1 minute).

3. Add the shrimp into the sauteed aromatics and toss or “stir-fry”. Cook for no longer than 2 minutes or until shrimps curl-up (shrimp can overcook in a matter of seconds).


Here is the best part.....you can just eat them as is!  Or....you could serve them over steamed rice.  Or of course you could serve them over a bed of veggies and Asian noodles as I did.  The sprinkle of sesame seeds is always an added touch that makes anything yummy....if you love them like my family does.

Happy Monday!  Grab your Wok and go Spicy!
