Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (15 ounce) can Dynasty Canned Mini Corn, drained
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
- Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions:
-
Prep the Ingredients: Start by prepping all your vegetables. Thinly slicing the peppers and onion will ensure they cook evenly and quickly. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger – these aromatic ingredients are key to the dish's flavor! Drain your Dynasty Canned Mini Corn thoroughly.
-
Stir-Fry the Shrimp: Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the wok and set aside.
-
Sauté the Vegetables: Add the bell peppers and onion to the wok and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until slightly softened. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.
-
Create the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes (if using).
-
Combine and Simmer: Pour the sauce into the wok with the vegetables. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly.
-
Add the Corn and Shrimp: Add the drained Dynasty Canned Mini Corn and the cooked shrimp to the wok. Stir gently to combine everything and heat through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Sweet Corn and Shrimp Stir-Fry immediately over a bed of cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
Tips for Success:
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Overcooked shrimp will be tough. Cook them just until they turn pink and opaque.
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger adds a much brighter and more intense flavor than ground ginger.
- Adjust the spice level: If you prefer a milder dish, omit the red pepper flakes. For extra heat, add more!
- Make it a complete meal: Serve this stir-fry with brown rice or quinoa for a more nutritious and filling meal.
Variations:
- Add Protein: Substitute chicken or tofu for the shrimp. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
- Vegetarian Option: Omit the shrimp and add extra vegetables like broccoli, snow peas, or mushrooms.
- Spice it up: Add a dash of sriracha or your favorite hot sauce for extra heat.
