Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry

Phew! It has been a busy last couple of weeks and it feels so good to be back to blogging. I took a week off to go on a trip with the hubby just the two of us to the Eastern Carribean and it was AWESOME! It is amazing what a week off of sun and relaxation can do for one’s soul. Highlights of the trip included bobsledding in the Jamaican jungle, swimming with the stingrays, and taking a lot of naps on the beach. It was such a great time. It is always busy catching up from missing a week and coming back from a trip makes you want to get back on the healthy eating bandwagon. Sometimes I feel like we get in a rut of chicken and veggies so it so nice to have a delicious and healthy meal that has such amazing flavor like this one. This was easily one of the best healthy meals that I have had. You guys will LOVE the garlic sauce on top of the veggies and shrimp. This was so flavorful and so good for you! I know that this is one that you will make again and again for your family!

Shrimp Stir Fry Ingredients:

Soy Sauce: Brings in an a sweet and tasty asian flavor. Garlic Cloves: Garlic just goes with everything! Sesame Oil: One of my favorite touches for Brown Sugar: Add sweetness to your sauce with this brown sugar. Shrimp: Large, peeled and deveined is best. Red Bell Pepper: Chop into squares or slices depending on your preference. Carrots: Shredded Cornstarch: Coats and thickens the sauce. Broccoli Florets: Fresh is better than frozen if possible. They will cook up nicely and have a crisp texture. Sugar Snap Peas: These are so good to add in and I love the flavor and texture with the vegetables all combined. Green Onions: For garnish when ready to serve.

Cover and let cook and thicken 2-3 minutes or until the veggies are tender.

Whisk sauce together: In a small bowl whisk together the soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Mix together: In a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat add the shrimp, peppers, and carrots and pour the sauce on top. Cook shrimp: Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until shrimp is pink.

Do I need to leave the tails on the shrimp?

Nope! Some actually prefer to eat the tails, but you can cook the shrimp to your families preference with or without the tails.
