Camping For Foodies Dinner Camping Recipes: Asian Inspired Cast Iron Dutch Oven Campfire Shrimp Recipe

4 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound large shrimp tails off, peeled and deveined
1 small onion thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic finely chopped
3 green onions white and greens chopped
1 (4 oz) package sliced mushrooms
1 jalapeno pepper seeded and finely chopped
1 cup loosely packed fresh basil thinly sliced (roll leafs like a cigar and cut in thin strips or ribbons aka chiffonade)
Cooked rice for serving.

Prepare your campfire for cooking.
Clean shrimp (peel and devein, tails off).
Stir together water, soy sauce and sugar then set sauce aside.
Chop vegetables.
Pre-heat 10-inch Dutch oven over medium-high heat of campfire coals or charcoal briquettes. You can use a larger Dutch oven or cast iron skillet if that’s the equipment you have.
Add vegetable oil to Dutch oven.
Add shrimp and stir. Camp cooking tip: don’t let the shrimp cook very long before adding the vegetables … you don’t want to overcook your shrimp before the vegetables are done.
Add all vegetables, stir till slightly softened.
Add liquid sauce and stir till heated through and shrimp is cooked through with slightly opaque flesh.
Remove from heat.
Stir in basil.
Serve over cooked rice (optional).
