Here's how to make it:
Simple High-Protein Shrimp Stir Fry
𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦𝘴 4
1.5 lbs (680g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or thawed from frozen)
2 Tbsp avocado or coconut oil
4 cups (480g) broccoli florets
1 large red bell pepper, sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 Tbsp coconut aminos
1 Tbsp sesame oil
Optional: Fresh grated ginger and red pepper flakes (to taste)
Prep your shrimp: Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. (Important: dry shrimp sear instead of steam, and that makes them more flavorful.)
Sear the shrimp: Heat the avocado or coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add shrimp in a single layer, not crowding the pan.
Cook 90 seconds per side until pink and just curled. Do not overcook. Remove and set aside.
Cook veggies: In the same pan, add broccoli and garlic and cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add bell pepper and cook another 2 minutes, until tender-crisp.
Finish and serve: Return shrimp to the pan. Drizzle coconut aminos and sesame oil over everything and toss to coat. Cook 30-60 seconds until glossy. Serve over brown rice or cauliflower rice.
Notes: Add 1 tsp fresh grated ginger and a pinch of red pepper flakes for an optional flavor upgrade.
