Kung Pao Shrimp with Cashews
This is a delecious dish!
Notes for "next time."
I like more "gravy" consider doubling the juice mix.
The raw shrimp cooks very fast, consider adding them after you have your gravy. Overcooked shrimp get rubbery.
Do not add the cashews until the dish is done. They only need a minute to warm. Too early and they soften.
