We love shrimp and have never used it in recipes before. We bought a big bag of salad shrimp at Sam's Club for about 8 dollars and it should go a long way. It worked well in place of the larger shrimp. I doubled the sauce and used a bag of frozen stir-fry veggies. This was great! Anika likes shrimp but O and I didn't. Russell loved it, and I enjoyed it, though next time we are trying an Orange Shrimp hopefully resembling P.F. Chang's!
