This was ok, but fairly bland. The addition of some hot sesame oil perked it right up.

Awesome recipe...I modified a bit based on what I had on hand and also doubled the recipe..I used sesame oil instead of peanut,green onion insted of reg,and used x-tra broccoli instead of broc and mushrooms...I also gave the shrimp a light dusting of cornstarch before adding to the sauce, and added a few shakes of red pepper flakes..also omitted the brandy...this was FAST and DELICIOUS!! Like chinese take out but way way better...will def add to my recipe collection...A KEEPER!!!

I doubled it as well. Did not bother buying brandy just for this, perhaps next time. I went with snow peapods and added sliced water chestnuts. I agree with another review that it was a little bland, but a little editing next time and it will go up to 5 stars. One problem I had was my peapods were not cooking as fast as I wanted and were still crunchy when basically everything else was done. I may cook up the peapods and water chestnuts a bit the night before for quicker prep when I put everything together the day of the meal. Oh and one reason mine was a little bland I am sure is that I did not double the garlic or ginger because this was my first time working with fresh and I was worried because the wife is a spice wimp.
