Ingredients

• 8 oz Plant-based shrimp
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, minced
• 1 large Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1 cup Snow peas, trimmed
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 tsp Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Sriracha or chili paste
• 3 tbsp Thai basil leaves, chopped
• 2 tbsp Crushed peanuts
• 4 cups Cooked jasmine rice or noodles (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, and snow peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 4

Remove the vegetables from the pan and set them aside.

Step 5

In the same pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the plant-based shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until slightly golden and heated through.

Step 6

Return the vegetables to the pan with the shrimp. Stir to combine.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and sriracha. Pour the sauce over the stir-fry and toss to coat evenly.

Step 8

Let the mixture cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped Thai basil and crushed peanuts.

Step 10

Serve hot over cooked jasmine rice or noodles.
