Vegetable Stir Fry with Ginger Shrimp 30 January 2009

I’ve been experimenting with veggies lately, and many of my attempts have been somewhat ho-hum. For the record, adding radicchio to anything is a bad idea. Radicchio is a pure, vegetable FAIL. This was actually a second attempt at dinner after radicchio ruined a perfectly lovely quiche. I basically just threw together some veggie left-overs from the week and Viola! The result was a fantastic stir-fry. I didn’t bother cooking rice although I’m sure it would have filled me up a bit more.
The fresh ginger gives this dish a delightful kick, add more if you are feeling gingery. Red pepper flakes or Thai Hot sauce would also be a tasty addition if you are feeling a bit spicy.
Sauteed Shrimp with Baby Bok Choy 9 January 2009

So, while I was at the grocery store the other day I saw these cute little baby bok choy’s. I’ve never had bok choy, but they looked so fresh and sweet. So I picked up a handful of them. And then I thought “hey, shrimp might go with bok choy”…like I know what “goes” with a vegetable I have never tasted. But I picked up a handful of them (the butchers, plastic gloved, handful).
When I got home, I scoured the fridge for additional bok choy-y veggies to make a stir-fry. The end result was pretty good, although I think I’d have added a little more ginger, and maybe even a little balsamic vinegar.
