Shrimp Stir-Fry with Eggplant and Tofu

A Shrimp Stir-Fry with Eggplant and Tofu was always my answer to a busy week night. Even on weekends, this still topped the list. I made this shrimp stir fry with eggplants from whatever I found in my refrigerator at a moment’s notice. I pan-fried a slab of tofu, extra firm and sliced some scrambled eggs. Both added a delightful protein twist to this easy family meal, which I poured over rice. This vegetable dish saute serves 2 to 4.
