Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 4 whole green onions, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 cup coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and add the sliced green onions. Pour in the coconut aminos and stir everything together until well combined.
Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure the shrimp and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot, and enjoy your Paleo Quick and Easy Shrimp Stir-Fry!
