As we add a colorful medley of vegetables – carrots, bell peppers, onions, and zucchini – to the wok, the kitchen comes alive with vibrant hues and crisp textures. The vegetables are stir-fried to tender perfection, and the stage is set for the star of the dish: plump, succulent shrimp. These ocean jewels are introduced to the mix, cooked to a delicate pink, and imbued with savory depth through the addition of organic soy sauce and a touch of coconut palm sugar. To create the signature sauce, we incorporate potato flour for thickness and a gentle stir with water, resulting in a silky and flavorful dressing that brings the entire ensemble to life. The result is a Chinese Style Shrimp and Vegetable masterpiece that offers a harmonious balance of sweet, savory, and spicy elements. Whether served over fluffy rice or its low-carb counterpart, this dish is a delightful representation of Chinese culinary tradition, certain to transport your taste buds to the bustling streets of a Chinese marketplace.
