- 150 grams broccoli florets
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare all the ingredients: peel and devein the shrimp, pat dry the scallops, and chop all the vegetables (broccoli, red bell pepper, and zucchini).
2. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the stir fry sauce.
3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat for 1 minute.
4. Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are opaque and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Add the red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
7. Return the cooked shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Pour the stir fry sauce over the seafood and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
8. Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb seafood stir fry!
