Ground meat (including plant based):
- Cut a small corner from the ground meat packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the ground meat and finely chopped onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] stir-fry blend and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
Shrimp:
- Rinse and drain the shrimp. Pat dry on a paper-towel-lined plate; cut into ½-inch pieces.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the shrimp and finely chopped onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are firm but not yet cooked through, 1 to 3 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] stir-fry blend and cook until the shrimp are cooked through, about 30 seconds.
Remove the pan with your protein from the heat. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more stir-fry blend if desired.
While your protein is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients.
