Scale

For the Moo Shu Shrimp:

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage (or coleslaw mix)
  • 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • ½ cup carrots, julienned
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 8 Mandarin pancakes (or small flour tortillas)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Sauce:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper. Set aside.

  • Cook the Shrimp:

    • Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
    • Add shrimp and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  • Stir-Fry the Vegetables:

    • In the same skillet, add remaining oil, garlic, and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
    • Add cabbage, mushrooms, carrots, and green onions, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

  • Scramble the Eggs:

    • Push vegetables to one side of the pan. Pour beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble until just set.

  • Combine & Finish:

    • Return shrimp to the skillet and pour in the hoisin sauce mixture.
    • Toss everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes, ensuring even coating.

  • Serve & Enjoy:

    • Warm Mandarin pancakes or tortillas and fill with Moo Shu shrimp mixture.
    • Serve with extra hoisin sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, add water chestnuts or bean sprouts.
  • For a spicier version, drizzle with Sriracha or chili flakes.
  • For a low-carb option, serve over lettuce wraps instead of pancakes.
