Frugal Tips for Shrimp Stir-Fry

Look for shrimp on sale. Our Walmart has been putting a bag on sale for $5 and I pick up quite a few packages at a time. I usually use a third to a half of a bag when using shrimp in a recipe.

*All of my recipes can be used with dairy or made into dairy free recipe versions. I have a milk allergy while my husband does not so I often try to make recipes in which substitions can be made either way. My shrimp stir fry recipes are also made to be as frugal as possible.

Shrimp Stir Fry

Gather It Up!

1/2 bag of shrimp
2 yellow squash chopped
1/2 cabbage chopped
1/2 red pepper chopped
1/2 green pepper chopped
1/2 medium onion chopped
4 mushrooms chopped
wax beans, as many as you want

Cook It Up!

Add small amount of oil to pan and heat on high. Add shrimp. Salt and pepper shrimp. Add one box chicken stock and bring to a boil. Boil shrimp in broth for ten minutes. Drain broth into separate container and reserve for another meal. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan. Salt and pepper butter. Throw in all of the veggies and garlic to taste. Add 1/8 to 1/4 cup of soy sauce and cook a little longer.
