Directions:
Prepare stir fry sauce by mixing the three sauce ingredients together until the mixture is a smooth blend. Set aside.

Remove veggies from the pan and set aside.
Add shrimp to the pan and stir fry on medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until warm.
Drain shrimp and return shrimp to the pan.
Add stir fried vegetables and stir fry sauce to pan and simmer shrimp and veggies in sauce on medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
