A simple stir-fry recipe from T.C. Choy’s Asian Bistro in Tampa, Florida with fresh pears and crunchy shrimp. This is a restaurant near my home and I featured this recipe in one of my food columns in the newspaper. ~Jaden Hair

Fresh Pear and Shrimp Stir Fry Recipe

adapted from T.C. Choy’s Asian Bistro

serves 4 as side dish

1 whole pear, peeled, cored and cut into small slices
4 ounces thinly sliced and peeled carrots
2 tablespoons cooking oil (canola, vegetable, peanut)
4 ounces fresh snow peas
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (use a rasp grater)
8 ounces raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons chicken broth
1 teaspoon cornstarch

1. Add salted water to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the pear wedges and carrots and blanch for 30 seconds, then immediately drain. Using paper towels, pat the shrimp very dry. Mix together the salt, sugar, chicken broth and cornstarch in a small bowl.

2. Heat a wok or large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the cooking oil and swirl to coat. When the oil is hot, add the shrimp and stir fry for 1 minute until the shrimp begins to change color. Add the grated ginger and continue stir frying for 10 seconds, taking care not to burn the ginger. Add the peas, carrots and pears and toss well. Stir fry for 1 minute. The shrimp should be just barely cooked through.

3. Pour in the chicken broth mixture, stir and let cook for an additional minute, until shrimp is fully cooked through.

Hi Sam, Unfortunately I don’t have nutritional info for the recipes – but it sounds like we should look into doing that!
