Spicy Shrimp and Bok Choy Stir Fry (South Beach Diet Phase 1)

Submitted by Lizzie Rodriquez

"From new book. Haven't tried. Chili-garlic sauce is a common Asian ingredient that brings a tangy hot flavor to any dish. It can be used both for cooking and as a condiment when you want a little extra heat. Look for brands with no sugar added in the Asian section of the supermarket."

Very good and healthy, nice zip to the sauce. We were given 14 oz. of bok choy, and supplemented with at least 4 cups of frozen California mix frozen veggies, thawed. For 3 people (2 men) we had 2 lbs of 36-40 count shrimp and doubled the scallions, garlic, soy sauce and Thai chile-garlic sauce; the green part of the scallions did not need to be doubled. We served over brown rice. Yes, I will make again, it's so easy!
