Ingredients:
  • 6 dried black (shiitake) mushrooms
  • 1 medium carrot, cut diagonally into thin slices
  • 3/4 pound uncooked medium shrimp in shells
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1 tablespoon chili or vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic cloves

  • 1/4 cup Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-ounce carton)
  • 4 medium green onions, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces

  • Begin by submerging the mushrooms in hot water for about 20 minutes until they soften; then drain. Rinse them with warm water and drain again. Next, gently squeeze out any extra moisture. Discard the stems, and slice the caps into thin strips.
  • Add the carrot to a pot of boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Drain the carrot and rinse it with cold water.
  • Peel and devein shrimp, then cut them in half lengthwise. Pat dry with paper towels and prepare a cornstarch and water mixture.
  • Preheat wok or 12-inch skillet over high heat, then add 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat the sides. Stir-fry shrimp and garlic until shrimp are pink and firm, then remove shrimp from the wok.
  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon oil into the wok and swirl to coat. Toss in the mushrooms and cabbage, stir-frying for 1 minute. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 1 minute.
  • Add the cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened, about 30 seconds. Mix in the shrimp, carrot, onions, and chili paste, and cook until the shrimp are hot, about 30 seconds.
