I have a simple recipe for you that’s delicious, loaded with protein and veggies, uses only one pan, AND is ready in less than 20 minutes.

This is one of those recipes you keep coming back to.

Simple High-Protein Shrimp Stir Fry

Serves 4

● 1.5 lbs (680g) large shrimp, peeled + deveined (fresh or thawed from frozen) - can sub in chicken breast

● 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 or Tamari

● 1 Tbsp sesame oil

● Optional: Fresh grated ginger and red pepper flakes (to taste)

Prep your shrimp: Pat shrimp completely dry with paper towels. Don’t skip this step: dry shrimp sear instead of steam, and that's where the flavor is.

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, being careful not to crowd the pan. Cook 90 seconds per side until pink and just curled. Do not overcook. Remove and set aside.

Cook the vegetables: In the same pan, add broccoli and garlic and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes. Vegetables should be tender-crisp, not soft.

Finish and serve: Return shrimp to the pan. Drizzle coconut aminos or Tamari and sesame oil over everything and toss to coat. Cook for 30 seconds until glossy. Serve over cauliflower rice, if desired.

Notes: Add 1 tsp fresh grated ginger and a pinch of red pepper flakes for an optional upgrade.
