25 Minute Shrimp Stir Fry

Quick and easy is the name of the game! And this easy 25 minute shrimp stir fry is both delicious and simple. I love to make quick stir fry dinners on busy nights because they can be loaded with nutrients and fiber, and can also be satisfying while making great leftovers (we LOVE leftovers!).

Try this easy shrimp stir fry, and try adding your favorite veggies and protein if you want to switch it up. You can also add some brown rice or mashed sweet potato under the stir fry to make it a heartier meal as well; however, for those of you on a low lectin plan or needing to be grain free, choose sweet potato instead. Additionally, be mindful of the type of teriyaki sauce you use, as some contain more soy and additives as well as salt too.

Enjoy this tasty meal!
