Shrimp and Ginger Stir-Fry

By

This recipe works well with lobster or other shellfish or chicken, beef or pork. You can also substitute whatever vegetables you have on hand, though be aware of color, crunch and texture. A mild or sweet onion is recommended and won’t dominate other flavors. For more heat, leave some or all of the seeds in the serrano peppers. Add more grated ginger just before serving if needed.
