If you like seafood and a quick stir fry, try this  Citrus Ginger Shrimp Stir Fry.  Vary your choice of vegetables to accomodate your family’s preferences. Either way, the sauce is very tantalizing to the taste buds.

The Prep:

My prep began earlier in the day  so all I would have to do is to gather them from the fridge and cook. We had plans this day and prepping eliminated the rush of what to have for dinner upon our return home. Prepare 4 servings of brown rice, jasmine rice or even quinoa if you desire. If making this later in the day, store in container in the fridge then heat it up before adding it to the stir fry.

Decide on your veggies of choice and prep about a cup of each. I used these 3, but you could even use zucchini, red bell peppers or carrots. I did slice the asparagus into 1-1/2″ pieces on a diagonal cut. I peeled the shrimp and patted them dry.

Whisk together the sauce ingredients. This can be stored in the fridge until ready to use, but just give it a quick whisk before adding it to the stir fry.

Time to cook:

First, make sure you pat the shrimp dry before using. In a wok or medium skillet, add the olive oil and heat to MEDIUM. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes. Flip them and cook for another 1-2 minutes. When the thickest part of the shrimp, the side opposite from tail,  transitions from translucent to opaque, they are done.  Remove from pan to a dish and set aside. DO NOT OVERCOOK!

Add a little more oil to the pan and saute veggies over MEDIUM heat for about 3 minutes.

Add the shrimp back to the pan and drizzle the sauce over both. Stir to combine.

Add in the prepared rice. If this was prepped and stored in fridge ahead of time, warm it up in the microwave for about a minute or until heated through. Stir to combine and coat rice with the sauce and distribute veggies with the shrimp.

Serve it up!

Do you have your chop sticks ready? Okay, so maybe forks would do. Plate this amazing  Citrus Ginger Shrimp Stir Fry and enjoy. Seriously, once prepped this took minimal time and effort.
