Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry | The Defined Dish

shrimp

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken

Tofu provides a plant-based protein option, while chicken is often less expensive than shrimp.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: tamari

💰Cheaper: liquid aminos

Tamari is gluten-free, and liquid aminos can be a cheaper alternative.

sriracha

🥗Healthier: chili paste

💰Cheaper: hot sauce

Chili paste can offer similar heat with fewer additives, while hot sauce is often more affordable.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is a healthier fat option, while canola oil is more budget-friendly.

In a small bowl, whisk together tamari, chicken broth, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger, and tapioca flour until well combined. Set aside.

Heat the oil in a large, deep nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add the broccoli, bell peppers, and red onions. Cook, stirring, until the veggies are slightly tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

Add the shrimp, salt, and pepper and continue to cook, tossing, until they begin to turn pink (they don’t need to be fully cooked yet).

Add the sauce and cook, tossing often, until the shrimp is cooked through, the sauce has thickened, and the shrimp and veggies are well coated in the sauce, about 4 minutes.

Serve alone or over rice with a drizzle of chili oil, if desired.
