  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing the shrimp and vegetables

– 1 pound large shrimp, shells removed for main protein

– 2 heaping cups broccoli florets for fiber, crunch, and stir-fry texture

– 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced for color, mild sweetness, and bite

– 1/4 cup soy sauce for salty, savory base

– 2 tablespoons brown sugar monkfruit for sweetness

– 2 tablespoons sesame oil for rich, nutty flavor

– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar for brightness and tang

– 2 teaspoons minced garlic for depth and savory flavor

– 1 teaspoon minced ginger for warm, fresh finish

– Green onions for freshness and color

– Cashews for creamy crunch

– Sesame seeds for texture and toasted look

– Almonds for nutty crunch

– Red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

1-First Step: Mix the sauce In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar monkfruit, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir until the mixture looks smooth and well combined, then set it aside near the stove so it is ready when the shrimp is done.

2-Second Step: Heat the pan Set a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and let it warm up for a few seconds. You want the pan hot enough to sear the shrimp but not so hot that the garlic in the sauce later burns too quickly.

3-Third Step: Cook the shrimp and bell pepper Add the shrimp and sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring as needed, until the shrimp turns pink. The bell pepper should start to soften but still hold some bite.

4-Fourth Step: Add the broccoli and sauce Add the broccoli florets and pour in the stir-fry sauce. Stir everything together so the vegetables are coated. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.

5-Final Step: Serve right away Take the skillet off the heat and serve immediately. Add green onions, sesame seeds, cashews, almonds, or red pepper flakes if you want extra flavor and texture.
