    Caribbean Stir Fry Shrimp

    I like this Caribbean stir fry shrimp because it reminds me of Indian Chinese food, which is my favorite kind of Chinese.  This is a quick and easy stir-fry. Come to think of it, I think all stir-fries I make are quick and easy. You just have to follow my #1 cooking rule (which I’m guilty of not always following, and that’s when the kitchen looks like a grocery bag exploded in it!): be organized. Once you have everything in place, you can whip up this shrimp stir-fry in no time!
    This dish is quick enough to prepare on a week-night. I like to keep a bag of shrimp in my freezer at all times. If I forget to thaw ahead of time, I do a quick thaw by placing the shrimp in a sealed plastic bag and submerging in hot water.
