SHRIMP WITH HOT GARLIC SAUCE

This Shrimp with Hot Garlic Sauce is AH-Mazing! A dish packed with tons of flavor and delicious vegetables and comes together in a matter of minutes.

Whenever I see that Jumbo shrimp has gone on sale I always try and stock up the freezer. There are so many quick meals to use with it. Its great for those days when you forgot to take anything out to thaw, shrimp thaws in minutes in a bowl of cold water.

I love to use my cast iron skillet for this shrimp with hot garlic sauce. But any heavy bottom pan or even wok would work just fine.

Shrimp in Hot Garlic Sauce is always my go to choice for Chinese take out. I have been trying to re create it for a few months now, and this recipe is pretty darn close. Served over a big ole bowl of steamy white rice…YUM!
