CL has better stir fry shrimp dishes out there.  This was just ok.  I added some lightly steamed broccoli.  Served with jasmine rice.

Easy, tasty stir fry. Great way to use up the leftover Napa cabbage. Served over brown rice and sprinkled with red pepper flakes

I really liked this! It was very easy and tasty. I used broccoli slaw instead of just cabbage and served it over rice noodles. On another reviewer's suggestion, I added some soy sauce at the end. I can definitely see myself making this again.

This was surprisingly delicious!!! I made it with shrimp & scallops, and served it over udon noodles which I added to pan with the cabbage to soak up the sauce. This was easy, fast and most important...yummy! I would definitely make this again.

I loved this because it was really quick to put together and the flavors were wonderful . I served this with soba noodles and a little bit of low sodium soy-sauce will make again and maybe add some different vegetables

I would definitely make this dish again because it is so quick, easy and tasty. I used white pepper instead of black pepper, mirin instead of sherry, and finished it off with a little bit of soy sauce. I ate it over rice and will make again, as i think its a perfect work-night, healthy meal for my husband and I.
