Since I love shrimp, and I love citrus-based sauces - like orange chicken or the Glaze of Sunshine Apricot Chicken I made a while back, I figured this recipe was worth a try. I liked that the recipe called for freshly-squeezed orange juice as one of the ingredients in the sauce. I thought it would have plenty of orange flavor in the sauce, but unfortunately, I was wrong. The sauce was not all that exciting, and I could barely tell it was a citrus-based sauce.
I did like that there was a large amount of snow peas and mushrooms in the stir-fry. I love snow peas and my husband loves mushrooms, so we were both happy. We ate the stir-fry over a serving of rice, and it made for a very satisfying meal. I love when the recipe makes a large amount of food, and a serving is half of the recipe. So much food! Yeah! I will probably not make this again, though, just because I wasn't thrilled with the sauce. If you are looking for a good stir-fry sauce, try the one from the Kung Pao Chicken recipe I made a while back. I have made this sauce several times since making this recipe, and it is so good!
If you are looking for a yummy shrimp dish that has lots of snow peas, I would recommend the Asian BBQ Shrimp Salad instead. Yes, it is a salad and not a stir-fry, but you can always eat the shrimp with rice instead of lettuce, and it will feel like you are eating a stir-fry instead. Overall, skip this recipe and try some of the more yummy Hungry Girl stir-fry options out there.
I agree with you about having a lot of food. I've heard WW leaders refer to us as bulk eaters. I eat huge portions of veggies but they are prepared with very little or no oil and usually no sauces.
