The flavor is excellent, but I doubled the sauce and it is still dry. I also tripled the garlic and ginger. Next time I will quadruple both. I topped with cashews right before serving, which added great flavor. Overall, a woderful meal that tasted like it came from a restaurant!

I thought this was an ok recipe. I added more garlic, ginger and rice wine. I will make again after tweaking it abit, adding maybe hoisin sauce or oyster sauce,and mushrooms. Good but could be better.

Very good base recipe for stir-fry. I substituted chicken for the shrimp, and broccoli and carrots for the peas. Also took advice of other reviewers and doubled the sauce. Rated 4 only because it's been a long time, and I haven't made it again.

Very good! Next time, I'll increase the sauce slightly, and maybe add some broccoli and carrots. But my family just loved it!

Super easy and most of the ingredients are on hand. I doubled the sauce (a must in my opinion) and used dry sherry in place of rice wine. Also, since I didn't have fresh ginger on hand, I just used ground ginger from my spice drawer. I realized after making this that I used sugar snap peas instead of snow peas-still yummy. Served over brown rice.

my husband and the kids loved it. they said it tasted more flavorfull than the chinese resturant and that is saying a lot because we eat chinese a couple times a week and are very picky about which resturants we eat at. I tripled the sauce and used more garlic a tad too much, also used double black soy sauce in addition to regular soy sauce.Which gives it a more authentic asian taste. Instead of snow peas i added broccli and canned bamboo shoots and served it over steamed jasmine rice.I will make at least once a week. very good shrimp dinner.

The flavor was out of this world! I used sesame oil for the shrimp by themselves and had to add more chicken broth at the end because it was too thick. YUMMY!

I made a few modifications - I tripled the sauce (and used black pepper instead of white - just a personal preference), doubled the garlic (grated fine to almost a paste to get more flavor), and used baby bok choy, mushrooms, and scallions for the veggies, and served with hot jasmine rice - it was great! Would prefer some spice in a dish like this but that's taken care of with a little spicy chile sauce on top!

Not bad tasting sauce. It probably needs a bit more ginger or garlic.

This was so good. I also doubled the sauce, which was defiantly the way to go if you are serving it over some rice. I also doubled the garlic and ginger because I love both of those flavors. This was an awesome recipe. Thanks.

Very tasty! Great sauce! We used pre-cooked frozen jumbo shrimp which we just thawed and added towards the end of stir frying the veggies. Also added some orange bell pepper to the mix.

This had a great mild flavor - I added a bit more ginger and garlic as well as adding a few water chestnuts and bamboo with the peas. My only comment would be that it only makes enough sauce to barely season the shrimp and veggies - if you like it really saucy or want to put it over rice, double the sauce.
