Spicy Shrimp Stir Fry

My favorite thing about cooking a stir fry, is that I have free range to be as creative as possible. A few days ago, Bae asked for a good, filing lunch to take to work, so I decided, why not a stir fry?! I haven't made one in a while and started craving! That day, I was heading to the …

Homemade Fiesta
