If you’re looking to spark up a meal, try this delicious and versatile option from Jeannette Chen at Jeanette’s Healthy Living. While shrimp takes this dish up a notch, you can leave it out or substitute with leftover grilled or roasted chicken. Sneak in a few extra vegetables by adding in whatever is on hand in the refrigerator, some leafy greens, or frozen mixed vegetables. Pair with pan-fried dumplings (you can buy frozen) and create her “Chinese takeout” at home.
