The title should read "simple and spectacular" - great for those following a low fat regime - but tasty enough to satisfy all appetites. Read More

As I was making this dish I thought to myself "There are no ingredients here to add flavor--just soy sauce and chicken stock." I stayed the course and followed the recipe to a tee. When I tasted the dish there was absolutely NO FLAVOR!!! I agree with the reviewers who mentioned tasteless. Very bland no taste waste of good shrimp won't make it again. Read More

This was quite tasty! I omitted the salt as I figured the soy sauce was salty enough. Next time I'd make a little more sauce and toss in extra snow peas. Great taste low cal easy to make. Read More

Family enjoyed it left out the tomatoes and next time may try low sodium soy sauce or leave out the salt. Took other reviewers advise and added a little sesame oil will probably try to add a little cajun seasoning next time or Red pepper. Good weeknight meal served over White Rice with Egg Rolls.

I have a house-full of picky eaters and they all enjoyed this meal. I served it over fried rice and it was delicious! I followed some of the other reviewers suggestions and added a little brown sugar cajun seasoning and crushed red peppers just to spice it up a bit. Read More
