Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 medium Ripe papaya, peeled, deseeded, and cubed
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 cups Cooked jasmine rice (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sriracha sauce, and lime juice. Set aside.
Season the shrimp with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced ginger and garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the red and green bell peppers to the skillet and stir fry them for 3-4 minutes, until slightly tender but still crisp.
Gently fold in the cubed papaya and cook for another 1 minute, allowing it to warm through but not become overly soft.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Toss everything together to coat evenly and heat for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the stir fry with sliced scallions and chopped cilantro.
Serve the spicy Hawaiian papaya shrimp stir fry over cooked jasmine rice if desired. Enjoy!
