How to Make Spicy Shrimp And Bok Choy Stir Fry South Beach Diet Phase 1

  1. **Prep the Shrimp:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 pound of shrimp (peeled, deveined, and patted dry), 2 tablespoons of chopped scallion whites, and 2 cloves of minced garlic.
  2. **Stir-fry the Shrimp:** Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a wok or large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp turns pink and is cooked through (approximately 3-4 minutes).
  3. **Set Aside:** Transfer the cooked shrimp to a clean bowl and set aside.
  4. **Cook the Bok Choy:** Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add 1 pound of bok choy, cut into bite-sized pieces, and cover. Cook until crisp-tender (about 3-4 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  5. **Sauce it Up:** Remove the bok choy from the skillet and set aside. Add 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce and 1-2 tablespoons of chili-garlic sauce (adjust to your spice preference) to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  6. **Combine & Serve:** Return the shrimp and bok choy to the skillet. Toss to coat everything evenly in the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes to reheat. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped scallion greens and serve immediately.
