I love seafood especially shrimp, scallop and squid. So that’s what I used for this recipe. You can use any protein you want though, even chicken, beef or pork! If you want to make this dish vegetarian, I highly recommend to use fried tofu. It will work the best! Alrighty, are we ready to jump into the recipe? Let’s get started!
