Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb large shrimp
1 (16 ounce) package frozen broccoli carrots cauliflower mix
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/4 cup mushroom, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil, can use coconut oil for pan
3 tablespoons almond butter
3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 garlic clove, minced
1 dash salt, to taste

Steps:

  • If you are using raw shrimp you will need to remove shells and vein.
  • First prepare the marinade by mixing the almond butter, coconut oil, sesame oil, water, vinegar, honey, sriracha sauce, rep pepper flakes, garlic and salt together in a bowl large enough to hold all shrimp.
  • Once you have cleaned shrimp (you can use precooked for this if you wish but remove the tails) add shrimp to marinade, stir and let set 20-30 minutes.
  • While shrimp are marinading cut vegetables and mushrooms.
  • When shrimp are done marinading, Place frozen and fresh vegetables in heated wok or skillet (I have a vegetable basket I place on the grill for mine). Stir in the hot oil for 1-2 minutes. Add shrimp but not all the sauce. Stir shrimp into vegetables and let cook till heated through. Add remaining marinade sauce and stir.
  • Cook until shrimp are pink and vegetables are done but still on the lightly crisp side. (if using precooked shrimp make sure you get it heated through good).

EASY SHRIMP STIR-FRY WITH GREEN PEPPER, PINEAPPLE & BACON RECIPE



Easy Shrimp Stir-Fry with Green Pepper, Pineapple & Bacon Recipe image

This sweet, spicy and super-easy shrimp-and-vegetable stir-fry starts with a very small amount of bacon in the wok, which creates drippings that add tons of smoky flavor to the vegetables and shrimp that go in next. Keep the salt in check by using reduced-sodium tamari sauce. To complete this easy healthy dinner, add cooked brown rice.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine (see Tip) or dry sherry
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 ounces thick-cut bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
12 ounces peeled and deveined raw shrimp (21-25 count)
1 bunch scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
1½ cups chopped fresh pineapple (1-inch pieces)

Steps:

  • Combine chili sauce, rice wine (or sherry), tamari, water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Set next to the stove. Cook bacon in a large flat-bottom wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate. Add bell pepper to the drippings in the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add shrimp, scallions, ginger and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring, until the shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes.
