Healthy Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 medium bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by rinsing the shrimp under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant—avoid burning.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli florets, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Drizzle the soy sauce, honey (if using), and sesame oil over the shrimp and vegetables. Sprinkle in red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
- Stir everything together gently. Cook for an additional minute to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.
- Taste your stir fry and add salt and pepper as needed for seasoning.
- Remove from heat and serve hot over cooked rice or quinoa if desired.
