Not bad.... not FABULOUS, but not bad! I threw in some broccolli and served with baked spring rolls. Family was happy!

Very tasty although I did make some alterrations. Instead of discarding the marinade I cooked the shrimp in it like a stir fry sauce. I also added a little bit of extra soya sauce, used fresh garlic instead of powder, added some imitation crab and cooked it with steamed broccoli. Will definitely make this tasty dish again!

A very tasty recipe, but I had to double the shrimp (my husband likes to eat). I actually used cook shrimp and after marinating, I just heated it up in the frying pan. It's a keeper, and so easy to make.
