Spicy Shrimp and Cabbage Stir-fry

Anything's good if it's made with chocolate

My husband loves this dish, prep takes longer then the cooking and there isn't any starch.   I love it because it's quick AND I can always include a side of noodles or rice.

From the Farmers' Market or the Grocery Store:

1 c. shredded cabbage

8 uncooked large shrimp

From your well-stocked pantry:

1 medium onion, sliced

1 T. soy sauce

1 t. minced fresh basil or flat leaf parsley

1/8 t. crushed red pepper flakes

3 t. canola oil, divided

1 garlic clove, minced

2 T. water

- In a small skillet, stir-fry the cabbage in 1 t. of oil for 2 minutes or til tender.  Remove and keep warm.

- In the same skillet, stir-fry the onion, garlic and herbs in the remaining oil until tender.  

- Add the shrimp, water and soy sauce; stir-fry 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink.  Stir in the pepper flakes.  Serve over cabbage.

I double this recipe to serve 2.
