Ingredients

  • 20 medium-to-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 10 baby zucchini, or 3-4 small regular ones, sliced on an angle
  • 6 tablespoons sunflower, peanut, or canola oil
  • Zest and juice of 2 limes
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 fresh red chilis, finely chopped
  • 1 small handful mixed fresh cilantro and mint
  • 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce

Method

  • Prepare all the ingredients beforehand, as stir-frying is a quick process. Heat the oil in a wok or large non-stick skillet until almost smoking.
  • Add the shrimp, lime zest, and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until the shrimp are lightly golden. Remove from the heat to a serving bowl.
  • Add the zucchini, herbs, and lime juice to the shrimp and toss so that the herbs barely wilt. Add fresh chili to taste, and season with soy sauce.
