Ginger-Soy Shrimp Stir-Fry
This ginger-soy shrimp stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The shrimp is cooked in a flavorful marinade of tamari or soy sauce, ginger, honey, and coconut aminos, then stir-fried with broccoli, red bell pepper, and snap peas. The result is a delicious and healthy meal that's sure to please everyone at the table.
The inspiration for this recipe came to me one night when I was craving something quick and easy for dinner. I had some shrimp in the fridge, and I wanted to make a stir-fry, but I didn't want anything too heavy or complicated. I started by marinating the shrimp in a simple mixture of tamari or soy sauce, ginger, honey, and coconut aminos. Then, I heated some olive oil in a large skillet and added the shrimp. I cooked the shrimp for a few minutes per side, or until they were cooked through and pink in the middle. Once the shrimp were cooked, I added the broccoli, red bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet. I stir-fried the vegetables for a few minutes, or until they were tender-crisp. Finally, I added the shrimp back to the skillet and poured over the marinade. I tossed everything to combine and cooked for another minute or two, or until the sauce had thickened and the shrimp were heated through. I garnished the stir-fry with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, and served it over cauliflower rice.
