Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos (Paleo-friendly soy sauce alternative)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos. Stir to coat the shrimp, then set aside to marinate for 5 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, carrot, and yellow onion. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the minced ginger and garlic, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Add the vegetables back to the skillet along with the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos. Toss everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle sliced green onions over the stir-fry.
Serve hot, garnished with optional sesame seeds if desired.
