can i use shrimp instead, it is from betty crocker easy chinese booklet i never cook chinese, i want to use up my bean sprouts, and bamboo shoots.

You could probably use shrimp. But depending on what kind of beef is called for, you might have to adjust the cooking time. Shrimp cooks more quickly.

The sauce may not taste good with shrimp. Chinese dishes tend to have different sauce bases depending on what the main protein source is.

thank you guys very much, i found chop suey.alljourney

Family, you cook a lot of yummy dishes. If you are looking for a dinner guest, let me know. I'll be there. :-)
