Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 0.5 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 stalk green onion, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and zucchini. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender yet crisp.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Return the cooked shrimp to the pan and pour in the soy sauce mixture. Toss everything together to coat the shrimp and vegetables evenly.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the sauce to slightly thicken.
Sprinkle the dish with chopped green onions and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb shrimp stir fry!
