Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 medium zucchini, halved and sliced
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 3 stalks green onions, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 0.25 cup soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 lime, juiced
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Increase the heat to high and add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed, and stir-fry the broccoli florets, bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot for about 5-6 minutes or until just tender-crisp.

Step 5

Return the shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables, adding in the green onions.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce or tamari, sesame oil, lime juice, and red pepper flakes. Pour this sauce over the shrimp and vegetable mixture.

Step 7

Stir well to combine all the ingredients and allow the sauce to coat the vegetables and shrimp evenly, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy low-carb stir fry.
