How to make Shrimp Veggie Wok
Tips from the cook
- Pat the shrimp dry before cooking, so they sear and do not steam.
- Cut the carrot into thin strips, so it cooks quickly alongside the zucchini and pepper.
- Leave the garlic cloves unpeeled in the first oil, so it flavours the oil without burning.
- Day-old cooked rice fries better than fresh, as it is drier and does not clump.

Meal prep and storage
Keeps 2 days in the fridge. Reheat the shrimp gently, as they turn rubbery.
