Shrimp Stir Fry: How To

If you like your stir fry served over rice or rice noodles make sure you have the rice or noodles timed so that they are nice and hot at the same time that your stir fry is done.
Rice noodles take about 3-5 min and Rice takes about 25 minutes to get done 

Thaw cooked shrimp and take the tail off (if they have tails)
Choose which veggies/fruit you want in your stir fry (the ones you see here are; celery, onion, yellow pepper, pineapple, and broccoli---we also had carrots)
Cut about the same amount of each veggie/fruit (we used about 1 cup of each)
Heat your wok to high/medium heat with oil in it--you will know that it's ready when you place a piece of a veggie in the pan and it sizzles 
The first veggies to go in the pan should be the longest to cook--in this case it was carrots and then broccoli---the veggie is done and ready to add the next is when you smell it---you don't want to over cook the veggies here, you want them crisp
Add your meat last of all
After the stir fry is hot and almost ready to serve add whatever sauce you want---
this time we used sweet and sour sauce 
The finished product--yummy yummy!!!
