Shrimp Stir Fry

I sooooo fail at getting recipes up lately so please forgive me! After posting this pic on FB and realizing I have like 2 minutes while watching crazy monster children run around my living room, I thought I would try to accomplish the impossible and type this out real quick.

Recipe is adapted from Skinny Ms.: http://skinnyms.com/shrimp-stir-fry/

I didn't have hoisin sauce and cornstarch so those weren't even necessary IMO. I cut down the honey amount, added stir-fry veggies and mushrooms when I added the snow peas. The flavor was exactly what I wanted tonight! Perfect!

Note on honey: Honey and I have come to an understanding. Many friends have turned me on to the allergy relief benefits of ingesting local honey so I'm feeling pretty good about my use of honey over agave for most things again. Healing properties! Can't beat that!

Shrimp Stir Fry

2 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp Braggs Liquid Aminos
1 Tbsp honey (local and raw if possible)

1 tsp sesame oil
1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
(I used water and added 1 Tbsp of my broth starter)

8-10 oz. medium frozen shrimp

4-6 green onions - sliced
1/2 pound fresh snow peas (trimmed, and ready to use)
(Optional: stir-fry veggies, mushrooms, ect.)

2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 Tbsp minced fresh gingerroot (I started buying the tube kind from the herb section at the store!)

Red pepper flake for garnish

(optional) Serve over cooked brown rice, Soba noodles or brown rice noodles.

__

In a small bowl, combine first 3 ingredients whisking until smooth; set aside.

In a wok or large non-stick skillet, stir fry shrimp in 1 tsp sesame oil and 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth; about 5 minutes for frozen shrimp or until shrimp turn pink.

Remove shrimp with spoon an add directly to the mix you just made up. Set aside.

Add green onion directly to liquid in skillet/wok and stir fry for about 3 minutes.

Next add the snow peas (and other veggies) and stir fry for 3-5 minutes until peas are crisp-tender.

Add garlic and ginger root; cook a few more minutes.

Add sauce/shrimp mixture to the wok/skillet, bring to a simmer. Sprinkle with red pepper flake and serve.

Loved it! Light and easier than I thought is was going to be.

Challenge Friendly: Max only. Unless you use chicken or fish, and then eating for Cleanse with brown rice and veggies (no mushrooms) is perfect!
