I guess we're the naysayers, but we weren't thrilled with this dish. It took a long time for the broccoli to become crisp-tender, and by that time it seemed to have soaked up the oil and it was starting to burn a bit. I had to add more oil in before I put in the onion, garlic and ginger. The sauce actually seemed bland to us, and there wasn't enough of it. I generally don't like a lot of salt (I get low sodium in everything), but I still found myself adding in salt. I double-checked my measurements, and I don't see where I could have possibly gone wrong. Shrimp isn't cheap so I doubt I'd try this again.
I just made this recipe and I found it to be perfect for my favorite Chinese dish. The seasonings were spot on being that I'm a diabetic. I didn't use rice, but Chinese noodles instead! Thank you for the recipe!
The hoisin sauce really made this recipe tasty! This is a delicious dinner that's quick to make!
Pretty Good...I followed the recipe closely but was a bit disappointed that the flavor was on the light side. I'll try it again and add a little more seasoning.
Tried this for dinner tonight..I think it needs a lot more veggies but the flavor was good.
I love it! It's for keeps..
I loved it!!!! I used ground ginger instead of fresh and I didn't use sesame oil. This dish pleasantly surprised me. It will definitely be a staple in my home.
Excellent recipe! The only thing I changed was using ground ginger instead of fresh. The flavors are perfectly balanced so the shrimp is accentuated and not covered up, which is so often the case with stir fry sauces. This is just perfect! Definitely will be making an encore performance at my house!
I made this recipie even though I didn't have all the ingredients. I didn't have hoisin sauce, green onions, fresh gingerroot or garlic cloves. I used ground ginger and garlic powder instead. I looked up the equal amounts on google. Even without those ingredients this dish was fantastic. I do think the sesame oil makes all the difference. This is the best and most authentic stirfry I've ever made. Even my 15 month old liked it.
