Directions
-
In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with 1/3 cup of the Italian dressing. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to marinate.

Add the shredded carrot to the hot oil and saut for 1 minute.

Drain the marinated shrimp, discarding the dressing. Add the shrimp and chopped green onions to the pan with the carrots.
