This is one of the best recipes I've come across lately for a shrimp stir fry. When I made it, the aroma was one of the things that got me hooked immediately. The combination of apples and shrimp was a surprise... I never would have thought to put those two flavors together before. It was a stroke of genius! Very very tasty!
The steps for this stir fry are so simple and fast. Be sure to have ALL your ingredients ready - clean, cut, thawed, and measured out - before you begin. That makes any stir fry a success. You especially don't want to overcook the shrimp or apples because you're busy preparing the veggies or seasonings. A stir fry should be treated like an assembly line. Be prepared and you definitely will NOT be disappointed! Enjoy!
