- I served this with buttered Couscous.
- note; According to Mr Yan, fresh seasonal fruits are a perfect compliment o meat and seafoods and they are being incorporated into stir-fried dishes by many Chinese chefs. He uses juice Californian westside cantaloupe to add in texture, fragrance and a delicately sweet touch to tender stir-fried shrimp.
- Tip: Cantaloupe grown on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley of California is at its best from July to September. It is easy to select a good ripe melon...just follow your nose to one with a sweet, fragrant and musky smell. It should be without dents and bruises. If it rattles (from the seeds sloshing inside) when shaken, it maybe overripe.
