5-INGREDIENT SHRIMP AND AVOCADO STIR-FRY WITH LEMON



5-Ingredient Shrimp and Avocado Stir-Fry with Lemon image

Avocados work well in stir-fries, pairing perfectly with a light, low-fat protein like shrimp. I?m a hungry gal, so I like to serve this dish over brown rice prepared with vegetable broth instead of water, for extra flavor. But feel free to break out your spiralizer to make zoodles (zucchini noodles) or serve the stir-fry in lettuce wraps for the ultimate low-carb meal that will fill you up while boosting your vegetable intake.
