15 Minute Shrimp Stir Fry

Recipe by: Ashley Wilcox

When life gets busy, the freezer is your best friend. Keeping things like frozen vegetables, fish, shrimp, and other quick-cooking items can make life so much easier—especially when you haven’t had time to meal prep. If you have quick, healthy options in your freezer, you’re much more likely to eat a good meal when you’re busy and short on time!

All you need for this recipe is rice, shrimp, a bag of frozen veggies, and a simple stir-fry sauce (store bought or you can whisk together one in seconds). It’s a perfect weeknight staple.

Ingredients:

• Rice (microwaveable, frozen, or freshly cooked)

• Frozen or fresh shrimp

• Frozen vegetables (I used a big bag of frozen stir-fry veggies from Costco)

• Stir fry sauce (store-bought or homemade)

• Option toppings: Green onions & sesame seeds

If making homemade stir fry sauce, whisk together:

• 1/4 cup soy sauce

• 1/4 cup water

• 2 tbsp brown sugar

• 1 tbsp corn starch

• 1 tsp sesame oil

• 2 cloves minced garlic

• 1/4 tsp ginger

Instructions:

1. Cook the rice according to the package instructions.

2. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the frozen vegetables and cook until heated through and slightly tender.

3. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook until pink and opaque (about 3–5 minutes).

4. Pour in your stir-fry sauce and stir to coat. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

5. Serve over rice and top with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
