This was delicious and I will definitely make it again. I didn't have chili peppers so I used red pepper flakes. I didn't have mushrooms so I used Swiss chard (because I had it lying around, ready to go bad and the wraps were wonderfully sweet and spicy. So good!

This was my first attempt at cooking anything Asian! These were soooo good- they will definitely become a staple in my house. I changed it up a bit. I left out the mushrooms. I also added a little bit of soy sauce, two dashes of a sweet hot sauce, and water chestnuts during the sautee. I also used jalapenos rather than the red chili peppers because that's all I had. After I had already out the shrimp in the skillet, I also put in about a handful of peanuts. Absolutely delicious!!!
