NEW VIDEO! This awesome flavorful dinner is way better than takeout and is ready to eat in 10 minutes!!!
Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! Raise your hand if during the Superbowl, you ate enough chips and guacamole to service a Mexican restaurant all by yourself!!! Meeeee….
OMG. Like I need a guac detox… and I am sure I will have a very rough 5:30 am Monday morning workout after all of that indulging. So, in an attempt to get the week off in the right direction, I am sharing with you one of my easiest, fastest and favorite weeknight meals, that feels appropriate for a Monday (because it is SO easy and fast) and this is what I am making tonight for my family!
So I’ll stop babbling and let me share this delicious Gingery Sesame Shrimp Stir Fry. I love it with a bowl of Crispy Ginger Rice or even just steamed jasmine rice. But the great thing about this recipe is that even if you opt to not eat it with rice (Paleo/Whole30) or you could do cauliflower rice! it is still so satisfying and super full of flavor. PLUS you can prep and cook the whole thing in 10-15 minutes. CRAZY!!!
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and de-veined
- Stir-Fry Sauce:
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons minced ginger
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons tamari (or coconut amino acids)
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave (omit for whole30)
- 1 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 red onion, cut into bite sized chunks
- 1 orange bell pepper, cut into bite sized chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into bite sized chunks
- 2 cups sugar snap peas, cut in half on the bias
- 1 fresno chile, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
- Whisk together the stir-fry sauce in a medium bowl and add the shrimp and toss with the sauce.
- In a large heavy sauté pan over high heat add the vegetable oil. Add the red onion and cook, while stirring often for about 1 minute. Add the rest of the vegetables and cook for one minute, stirring often.
- Add the shrimp and all of the sauce and cook, stirring the whole time for about 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are just cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Season with kosher salt to taste. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.

So nice and light, healthy and tasty!
This is so delicious! Perfectly heated – my 9 year old loves it! Once we served her, I added a little extra red pepper flakes for my hubby and Me Served over rice!
Looks great. As a veggie I would change the shrimps with tofu. But I would really like to try the other flavor combinations 🙂
