Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 medium zucchini, halved and sliced
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon optional red pepper flakes (for heat)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos and sesame oil. Set aside to use as the stir fry sauce.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the coconut oil and let it melt.
Once the coconut oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the raw shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
To the same skillet, add the broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrot, and zucchini. Stir fry for 4-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour in the sauce. Toss everything together to coat the shrimp and veggies evenly. Cook for 1-2 more minutes until heated through.
Garnish with sliced green onions and optional red pepper flakes for a bit of spice, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
