1/3 c. dry roasted peanuts
3 tbsp. peanut oil
1 med. onion, slivered
1/2 c. thinly sliced celery
6 oz. mushrooms, sliced

Stir cashews in heated oil in a large frying pan until they give off a nut like aroma and begin to brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and reserve. To same oil add onion and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium high heat until onions are transparent, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until they begin to brown. Mix in garlic and shrimp, stirring until shrimp turn pink. Mix cornstarch smoothly with soy sauce and chicken broth. To shrimp mixture, stirring just until thickened. Taste. Add salt, if needed. Sprinkle with reserved cashews. Serve over brown rice. Easy and delicious. Serves 4.

 Joe (United States) says:
Delicious. If you use regular soy sauce don't add salt until served and tasted. I would have given five stars except the recipe didn't say when to add the spinach. I added it right after the shrimp was pink and before the soy sauce mixture. Everyone liked this, but felt it needed more sauce. Next time I'll add more chicken broth.
