    You'll ❤️ Love Stir Fry With Shimp

    Family Friendly

    Finding healthy recipes that I can serve to my whole family is my number one criteria - even those not following a keto diet. 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!

    Easy One Pan

    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!

    Best Taste

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

    If you're looking for more delicious stir fry recipes be sure to make Mongolian Beef and Broccoli and Ground Pork Stir Fry! 🙂

    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 can be a stand-alone dish, but I frequently serve it with riced cauliflower or Coconut Cauliflower Rice. Feel free to serve regular cooked rice for anyone not following a low carb or keto diet in your house.

    FAQs

    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.

        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!

      Sooo good. Great flavor. Subbed sugar snap peas for broccoli and omitted zucchini and cabbage cause didn’t have them. Easy to follow instructions. Highly recommend.
