It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

common recipe questions
Can I use pre-cooked frozen shrimp?
Just thaw it ahead of time and then add it after the broccoli has cooked for about 4 minutes. Stir fry until the shrimp is heated through.

I followed the basics, used raw shrimp and cooked it before beginning the recipe. I added a bunch of vegetables including baby corn, zucchini, mushrooms and scallions. Also used three cloves of garlic and minced that and added more teriyaki sauce to suit the vegetables and cooked them longer for about 6 minutes. Also steamed the broccoli beforehand and added it to the mixture when the shrimp was added. but other than that great base and add as you wish to make it special! (chestnuts would be perfect)
