How to Make Paleo Easy Shrimp Stir Fry

  1. Peel and devein 1 pound of raw shrimp.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together: 1/4 cup almond butter, 2 tablespoons coconut oil, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (or more, to taste), 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Add the shrimp to the marinade, toss to coat, and let sit for 20-30 minutes.
  4. While the shrimp marinates, prepare your vegetables: 1 cup broccoli florets, 1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color), 1 cup sliced mushrooms, and 1/2 cup sliced carrots.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Add the prepared vegetables and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
  7. Add the marinated shrimp (reserve about 1/4 cup of the marinade) to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until heated through and almost pink.
  8. Pour in the reserved marinade and stir to coat.
  9. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the shrimp is pink and opaque, and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  10. Serve immediately over grilled summer squash or grilled romaine lettuce.
