Notes

  • For optimal freshness, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • When reheating, gently warm the stir fry in a skillet over medium heat to prevent the shrimp from becoming rubbery; add a splash of water or soy sauce to keep it moist.
  • Serve your Shrimp and Zucchini Stir Fry over a bed of fluffy jasmine rice or noodles, and consider topping it with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions for an extra burst of flavor and crunch.
  • For the best flavor balance, taste your homemade teriyaki sauce before adding it to the stir fry; feel free to adjust the sweetness or saltiness by adding more honey or soy sauce according to your preference.
