I liked the vegetables in this recipe, but agree with a previous comment that chicken would be better than shrimp.
Moo Shu Shrimp
This dish combines some of the ingredients for vegetable spring rolls with the assembly procedure for tacos, both dishes Aaron likes. Also, it provides another tasty vehicle for shrimp, an ingredient Julie wants to use more often.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 cup shrimp mixture, 1 1/2 teaspoons hoisin sauce, and 2 tortillas)
