Ingredients
- 2 scallions chopped; white and green parts separated
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger fresh, minced
- 6 cups zucchini chopped
- 8 oz water chestnuts sliced, canned
- 1.25 lb shrimp raw
- sesame seeds
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- fresh cracked pepper
Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger minced
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- ½ cup maple syrup
Instructions
Chop the scallions and separate the white parts from the green parts.
Mince the garlic and the ginger. Chop the zucchini.
In a large frying pan or wok, add cooking spray. Add the white parts of the scallions, the garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant.
Add the zucchini and ½ teaspoon kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. Sauté the zucchini for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and tender.
Drain the water chestnuts and add them to the pot and cook for another minute.
Remove the vegetables from the pan, and spray the pan with non-stick spray again.
Add the raw shrimp and cook for a couple of minutes per side.
Add the vegetables back in. Combine the teriyaki sauce ingredients, and add ½ cup of the mixture to the frying pan. Allow the ingredients to simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes.
Garnish the dish with the green parts of the scallions and sesame seeds.
Finally, add the remaining teriyaki to a small saucepan and simmer for about 5 minutes or until it thickens. Drizzle this teriyaki over the finished stir fry.
