Sunday night,
Mr. Hawthorne made another shrimp stir fry.
He's getting quite good at this.
The Master has taught him well.

He chopped up a green pepper from my garden
and a red onion.
Generally, I don't cook red onions.
I like red onions raw.
They have a sweet, mild flavor in the raw state
that I prefer to white or yellow onions.
And when cooked, they lose
their beautiful bright red color.
When I stir fry,
I always use a white or yellow onion,
cut into wedges,
with a sprinkling of sugar
to take the bite out.
But
I was all out of yellow onions.
So Mr. H. used a red onion.

First, he sauteed his green pepper and red onion
for a few seconds.

Then added in his shrimp.

And some water chestnuts for a nice crunch.

He cooked until the shrimp was just done.

A little sweet chili sauce on top
gave it a nice kick in flavor.
Another light, satisfying, tasty meal.
