Notes
Make sure to pat down your shrimp wit a paper towel or you won't get that nice caramelization.
Cut your vegetables into similar sized pieces, so they all cook at the same time.
Have all your ingredients ready before you fire up the wok, as things move fast!
If you don't have a wok you can use a wide bottomed pan.
