The Ultimate Shrimp Spinach Mushroom Stir-Fry (So Easy, So Delicious!)
A quick and flavorful weeknight dinner, this shrimp and spinach stir-fry comes together in under 20 minutes. Juicy shrimp, earthy mushrooms, and tender spinach are tossed in a savory sauce that will have you coming back for seconds.
Ingredients
For the Stir-Fry:
- 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 tbsp cooking oil like canola, vegetable, or avocado oil
- 1 bunch spinach
- 8 oz baby bella mushrooms, chopped 227g
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
For the Sauce:
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the water, cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Make sure the cornstarch is fully dissolved to avoid lumps. Set aside.
- Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they turn pink and opaque.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're browned and have released their moisture.
- Add the entire bunch of spinach to the skillet. It will seem like a lot, but it will wilt down quickly. Stir gently for 1-2 minutes until the leaves have collapsed.
- Give the sauce a final stir, then pour it over the ingredients. Continue to stir everything together for 1-2 minutes as the sauce thickens and coats the stir-fry.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve immediately over rice or noodles, or enjoy it on its own.
Notes
This stir-fry comes together quickly, so it helps to have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start cooking.
