Chinese Shrimp Moo Shu

By á-39535

This Chinese Shrimp Moo Shu recipe is adapted from the March 2007 issue of Cooking Light. It is a nice supper for during the week. The original recipe called for 2 tablespoons of the hoisin sauce, which I thought was too much. It has a real strong flavor, and about half that was good for us. I thought the original amount drowned out the other flavors of the recipe. The original recipe also only called for 2 teaspoons of the peanut oil, but I needed more to keep the veggies from sticking.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic, divided
• 1 pound small shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 cups mushrooms, thinly sliced

• 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce (or Sriracha)
• 2 teaspoons hoisin sauce
