Trying to lose weight but still want something delicious? Same here, friends! Let’s keep it tasty AND light!
Here’s a simple, protein-packed recipe that’s great for lunch or dinner:
Ingredients:
- 10–12 medium shrimp (peeled and deveined, back slit open)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- A few slices of fresh ginger
- 1–2 stalks of green onion, chopped
- 1 tsp olive oil or avocado oil
- A pinch of salt & pepper
- Optional: chili flakes or a dash of low-sodium soy sauce
Instructions:
- Prep the Shrimp:
Peel the shrimp, make a shallow cut along the back to remove the vein. Rinse and set aside. - Flavor Boost:
In a bowl, toss the shrimp with a few slices of green onion and ginger. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes to absorb the aroma (skip heavy marinades – we’re keeping it light!). - Blanch the Broccoli:
Boil water, then add broccoli for just 1–2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to keep it vibrant and crisp. - Stir-Fry Time:
In a nonstick pan or wok, heat 1 tsp oil over medium heat. Sauté the shrimp with the ginger and green onion until just pink and curled (about 2–3 minutes). - Add Broccoli:
Toss in the blanched broccoli. Stir-fry for another 1–2 minutes. Season with a light pinch of salt, pepper, or a tiny splash of low-sodium soy sauce. - Serve Hot & Enjoy Guilt-Free!
