I was going to make a garlic and ginger shrimp recipe and serve it over some Udon noodles I had in the fridge, but things got hectic and I used the shrimp for something else. So I came up with this out of what I had sitting in the fridge/freezer this week. It came out really good. I love Asian style food!
