Notes

  1. Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest shrimp and celery you can find. Fresh shrimp will have a firm texture and sweet flavor, while fresh celery will be crisp and juicy.
  2. High Heat Cooking: Stir-frying is all about high heat and quick cooking. Make sure oil and wok are hot before adding all the ingredients. This helps to seal in the flavors and maintain the texture of the vegetables and shrimp.
  3. Even Cuts: Cutting the celery into uniform 2-inch lengths ensures even cooking and a consistent texture throughout the dish.
