Three components

• Protein- for best results, use shell-on medium size shrimp and peel them yourself. Although already peeled shrimp are convenient to use, I find they have a tougher texture when cooked.
• Veggies- green beans; also known as string beans or locally as Bagiuo beans. Use Roma tomatoes for a juicier, sweeter taste.
• Sauce- a simple mixture of brown sugar and soy sauce!

How to serve and store

• Serve this string bean and shrimp stir fry as a main dish with steamed rice or noodles for a tasty take-out fake-out meal at home!
• Keep leftovers in a container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in the microwave at 2 to 3 minute-intervals or in a wide skillet over medium heat until heated through.
