You'll ❤️ 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.

- 1/4 cup coconut or liquid aminos or tamari sauce (or, soy sauce if not following keto)

🦐 Instructions
This is a very simple keto shrimp stir fry, here's how to make:
In a small bowl, whisk together ginger paste, garlic, coconut aminos, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and xantham gum. Set aside
Heat oil in a skillet or wok until very hot (but not smoking), add shrimp and saute until pink. Remove shrimp from pan, cover with foil and keep warm.
Add broccoli and carrots. Saute for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Saute for 3 minutes stirring frequently.
Add cabbage and green onion. Saute for 2 minutes. Test veggies for doneness. If needed, continue sauteing until veggies are done to your likeness.
Add shrimp back to the pan and stir all together.
Pour sauce over veggies and shrimp and stir for 1 minute.
Toss it all together. Remove from heat and serve!
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.

So delicious. But step 5 mentions cabbage??? Are you referring to the vege combo???
seekinggoodeats says
Thank you! So glad you loved it! 🙂 Yes, I did use 1 cup cabbage when I made this recipe. I accidentally left that notation out, but just added it into the recipe card. Thanks so much and have a good day!

People, I am serious! Run Don't Walk to your kitchen and grab your wok! This is fabulous!!! I added celery (because I had some and I like it) and replaced the green onion with thin slices of yellow onion put in with carrots and broccoli (because I did not have green onion and like the onion cooked a little more than you would green onions). I also had to use cornstarch as I did not have xanthum gum; but, it only added about 2 carbs to the whole recipe. We LOVED it last night and I have been snacking on the leftovers (cold) all day. That is how good it is!! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
