Szechwan Shrimp

Quick and easy meals are my favorite and this recipe is just that. I had dinner on the table within 30 minutes and we all really enjoyed it. Feel free to add a little more crushed red peppers if you want a little more heat. I also made this a little easier buy using a microwave bag of steamed broccoli to add and I served this over Basmati rice and it was the perfect compliment.

INGREDIENTS
4 Tablespoons of water
2 Tablespoons of ketchup
1 Tablespoon of soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup scallions, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
Steamed broccoli florets
1 pound medium sized shrimp peeled, deveined and tails removed

Basmati rice

DIRECTIONS
In a bowl stir together water, ketchup, soy sauce, corn starch, honey, red pepper flakes and ground ginger. Mix well and set aside. Steam your broccoli florets and set aside. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium /high heat, add the shrimp and scallions and cook until shrimp are just starting to turn pink then add garlic,  your desired amount of steamed broccoli and the sauce. Cook until the sauce is thickened and the shrimp have cooked through.
