We have never cooked with Bok Choy before. I am not sure why not but we really enjoyed this dish. It was simple and so flavorful!! It’s now added to our list of must make again!!
This recipe is not our own completely but we changed a few things to make it more like what we enjoy. However the original recipe is from Food Network called “Shrimp & Cabbage Stir-Fry” Found here.
We could not find the nappa cabbage so we substituted for Bok Choy. I know both Nappa Cabbage and Bok Choy are both referred to as Chinese Cabbage. However, I learned Bok Choy is a chard not a cabbage. Just thought I would throw out that piece of did you know 🙂
We had to share this with our readers. If you enjoy cabbage/Bok Choy and shrimp this is for you. Dinner was ready in about 20 minutes. 🙂
ENJOY!
