Why You Will Love Stir Fry With Shimp

Perfect For Everyone - Even Those Not On A Keto Diet

Finding healthy recipes that I can serve to my whole family is my number one criteria. Stir fry with shrimp was a huge hit and there was literally nothing left in the pan when they finished! 🙂 I wish I had caught that on video!

Super easy one-pan meal

This really is easy. The shrimp and veggies are sauteed until in one pan and the sauce added in the last few minutes. Takes less than 25 minutes from start to finish. It's a great recipe to use up vegetables in your fridge!

It tastes amazing

I absolutely LOVE the flavor of this dish. The combination of ginger, soy sauce (coconut aminos), garlic, with sesame oil for the sauce is so delicious when added to the sauteed veggies and shrimp.

It's low carb, sugar-free, and keto

The recipe as it stands includes 1/2 cup of carrots and 1/2 cup of green onion. Even with that, there are only 7.5 gams of net carbs. That's great in my book! Full nutritional analysis is in the recipe card.

How To Serve

Shrimp stir fry is really a stand-alone dish, but I frequently serve it with riced cauliflower. For anyone not on a low carb or keto diet rice, of course, is amazing.

Common Questions

Can I make keto stir fry with chicken or beef?

Yes, you can definitely swap out shrimp for chicken or beef. Super delicious!

Can I substitute other vegetables in my stir fry?

Yes, you can substitute any vegetables you like. I always use 8 cups of vegetables in whatever combination I have on hand. The only stipulation is that they have to be able to be stir-fried and you have to add tougher vegetables that take the longest to cook first (like broccoli).

How can I decrease carbs?

The easiest way is to not use carrots or green onion. I use a small amount of both because I love the flavor. I account for the carbs in that day's allowance.
