Description

Delicious shrimp stir fry with vibrant vegetables and a savory sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 pound shrimp, deveined and shelled (or tail on), wild caught if possible
  • 1 pound broccoli or broccolini (stem on), about 4 cups
  • 2 bell peppers, any color
  • 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms (optional)
  • 2 green onions
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger, optional
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari or coconut aminos)
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow or white miso
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Thaw the shrimp, if frozen.
  2. Chop the broccoli. Thinly slice the bell peppers. Remove the stems of the shiitake mushrooms and slice (or if using baby shiitakes, you can leave the stems on).
  3. Whisk together all ingredients until a smooth sauce forms.
  4. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli or broccolini, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Add 2 pinches kosher salt and cook 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp tender. Remove the vegetables to a bowl.
  5. Add the additional 1 tablespoon sesame oil to the pan. Add the shrimp, green onions, and ginger (optional). Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the shrimp are almost opaque, turning once. Then add back the vegetables and the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the sauce is thickened.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, use tamari or coconut aminos.
  • Feel free to customize vegetables based on your preference.
