Asian Shrimp & Mushroom Stir-Fry

larchie's Note:

This is really good. Use large, fresh shrimp for best results (peel before cooking). This comes from one of my favorite diet cookbooks, modified to our tastes. Serve over brown rice for a delicious and complete meal.

WAY too salty. The nutrient breakdown on this page is WRONG. We looked at the back of the Tony Cachere's creole seasoning bottle and figured out the *real* sodium content. For 4 servings, this recipe has 1980 mg of sodium PER serving. That's about 75% of your DAILY sodium intake. This was so salty, it burns your mouth. Very unpleasant.
