I stole this recipe for Shrimp Egg Roll in a Bowl from snackinginsneakers.com. This delicious entrée is basically an inside out egg roll. First onion, cabbage, carrots and garlic are sautéed together until soft and tender. Then sesame oil is added with the shrimp. Once the shrimp is cooked a sauce is made with rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, chili sauce, green onions and sesame seeds. Next the sauce is added to the shrimp and vegetables are stirred and cooked until everything is combined. Fortune cookies would be a great finish to this meal!
The ingredients for this recipe are: 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 small onion, 5 cups roughly chopped green cabbage, ½ cup finely chopped carrots, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 lb shrimp, ¼ cup soy sauce, 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce, 4 green onions and 1 tbsp sesame seeds
I also add a pint of chopped mushrooms.
In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Then add the onion, cabbage, carrots and garlic.
Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is softened and the carrots are tender.
Push the vegetables to the sides of the pan, leaving a bit of space in the middle. Next add the sesame oil to this space and let it heat up for a minute, then add the shrimp.
Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until shrimp is pink and opaque throughout. Add the rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and chili sauce.
Then add green onions and sesame seeds.
Stir to combine and cook for another minute.
