- When selecting shrimp, look for ones that are firm and smell fresh.
- Instead of extra light olive oil, use sesame oil. The benefit of this substitution is that sesame oil has a nutty flavor that will add a depth of flavor to the stir fry. It will also provide a nice aroma to the dish.
- Instead of fresh coriander leaves, use fresh basil leaves. The benefit of this substitution is that basil has a more subtle flavor than coriander, which will allow the other flavors in the dish to come through more clearly. It will also provide a nice color contrast to the dish.
