Ginger Sesame Shrimp Stir Fry

Shrimp and spices combine with colorful vegetables and a light but satisfying sauce that makes it to the table in 20 minutes.

I love it when an experiment turns out the first time.  Coming home late from a long day of work the last thing I wanted to do was spend an  hour slaving over the stove. I had a few leftover peppers from Monday’s ratatouille and some ginger from last night’s spicy peanut shirataki noodles so I defrosted some shrimp, threw it all together and got lucky.  I’ll definitely make it again. Brad suggested adding pineapple and I can’t wait to try that.

Serve this over brown rice for a complete meal. Substitute liquid aminos or gluten free soy sauce to make gluten free.

Instructions

Prep vegetables and whisk together chicken broth, soy sauce, corn starch, vinegar, and honey. Set aside.

Season the shrimp with lots and lots of black pepper and maybe a little salt if you're into that sort of thing.

Heat a skillet or wok over medium high heat. Spray with vegetable oil and saute shrimp until just cooked through, stirring constantly, about 4 minutes. Set shrimp aside.

Add the white part of the green onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir fry about 4 minutes and add snow peas, green parts of the onion, garlic, ginger, and red pepper (if using). Cook about 1 more minutes until vegetables are crisp tender.

Add liquid to skillet and cook 1 minute. Stir in sesame oil, shrimp, and cilantro. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
