Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound (450g) shrimp peeled and deveined (and defrosted if using frozen)
  • 1 pound (450g) yellow squash or zucchini, cut into quarter-inch pieces
  • 1 green bell pepper deseeded and sliced
  • 1 pound (450g) mushrooms halved or quartered, if large

Notes

  • If you start with frozen shrimp, make sure to thoroughly defrost and drain them before using.
  • This recipe uses jumbo shrimp, not the smaller variety.
  • If you have time, let the veggie and shrimp marinate in the hibachi marinade for about 30 minutes and up to 2 hours, making sure to stir everything a couple of times.
  • Use reduced salt tamari soya or soya sauce if you prefer.
  • Try and make sure the veggie pieces are all the same size so they cook at the same rate. Use a sharp knife to slice them.
  • Cook time depends on the shrimp, as you don't want to overcook these. So make sure you cut your veggies to a good size so that they cook in the allocated 8-9 minutes.
  • Feel free to double or triple the recipe to serve a crowd. But you would need to cook this in more batches.
  • Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • There are 3 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in a serving of this (without the yum yum sauce).
