Clearly, this was better than it looked.  My family starts giving me all the stares when I break out the camera while I am cooking.  And clearly…food photography is a craft all unto itself.  One cannot simply focus, get the right lighting and move on.  There is an art to it, and I don't possess it.  Yet.

 

Anyway, Shrimp Stir Fry is almost like a what do I have in the refrigerator that I can cook quickly and throw some soy sauce on and call it stir fry.    This is exactly what it looks like.  We did have some really good egg rolls to go with it though.  Not home-made.
