Here in Maine our native shrimp are small, and so I was looking for an Asian recipe that called for small shrimp (no easy task, that -- most recipes call for large or jumbo) and stumbled on this recipe. We made 1.5 times the amount of sauce, which made it a little runny, but *full* of flavor! Ate way too much and enjoyed every minute of it; thanks for posting!

This was ok, but not what I was hoping for. The sauce really was a bit too strong for the shrimp. The sauce also seemed a bit different from the Mushu recipes I am used to. I am sorry I could not rate this higher, especially in light of the reviews this recipe has had. It just didn't work out for us. ~Sue

This was a nice and easy recipe. Definately have all the prep work done beforehand. I used rice paper (spring roll wrappers) instead of tortillas. I had a few tortillas warmed, but noone wanted them. I made a half batch, since we were having a big asian appetizer style meal. I used 1T of hoisin in the mix, but kept the shrimp serving the same. I also had hoisin on the table for those who wanted more (our family loves hoisin) The little bit that was leftover I tossed into some scrambled eggs and drizzled some hoisin on top. That was delicious, too. Thanks for sharing. Made for Green Eggs and Ham game.
