Ingredients

For the Stir Fry
  • 1 tbsp coconut or olive oil
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 6 oz sugar snap peas
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • prepared white rice or cauliflower rice
For the Sauce
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk (unsweetened)
  • 2 tbsp liquid or coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1-2 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust for spice level)
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot powder (optional)
Optional Garnishes
  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges
  • Chopped peanuts or cashew

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, tamari (or coconut aminos), fish sauce (if using), lime juice, honey, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat half the oil over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Add the other half of the oil, along with the shrimp. Cook until they are no longer translucent and are fully pink.
  3. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and vegetables. Toss to coat and cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat everything through. If the sauce is too thin, add the tbsp of arrowroot powder.
  4. Serve over rice or cauliflower rice, if desired. Garnish with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and chopped peanuts or cashews for extra flavor and crunch.
