Healthy Takeout Kung Pao Shrimp Recipe!

I decided to try out Home Chef and this is one of the lovely meals they came up with ? I tried my best to follow it exactly. I will say it definitely came out on the spicier side for myself personally, but that can be controlled by how many chilies you use, easy fix in the future. Overall though, very tasty dish, and something I would have never thought about making on my own.
