Description

Packed with protein and flavor, my Shrimp and Zucchini Stir Fry with Homemade Teriyaki the perfect fakeout takeout weeknight meal. My lightened up teriyaki sauce is the star of this dish. Zucchini, shrimp, water chestnuts, garlic, and ginger are perfectly coated in the sauce and come together in no time. Serve over rice or cauliflower rice to create a well-rounded meal that’s just like your favorite takeout, but healthier!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 scallions, chopped; white and green parts separated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 6 cups zucchini, chopped
  • 8 oz sliced canned water chestnuts
  • 1.25 lb raw shrimp
  • sesame seeds
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • fresh cracked pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (for sauce)
  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced (for sauce)
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Step: Chop the scallions and separate the white parts from the green parts.
  2. Step: Mince the garlic and the ginger. Chop the zucchini.
  3. Step: In a large frying pan or wok, add cooking spray. Add the white parts of the scallions, the garlic and ginger, and saute for 1 minute or until fragrant.
  4. Step: Add the zucchini and 1/2 tsp kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. Saute the zucchini for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and tender.
  5. Step: Drain the water chestnuts and add them in to the pot and cook for another minute.
  6. Step: Remove the vegetables from the pan, and spray the pan with non-stick spray again.
  7. Step: Add the raw shrimp, and cook for a couple of minutes per side.
  8. Step: Add the vegetables back in. Combine the teriyaki sauce ingredients, and add 1/2 cup of the mixture to the frying pan. Allow the ingredients to simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes.
  9. Step: Garnish the dish with the green parts of the scallions and sesame seeds.
  10. Step: Finally, add the remaining teriyaki to a small saucepan and simmer for about 5 minutes or until it thickens. Drizzle this teriyaki over the finished stir fry.

Notes

Serve over rice or cauliflower rice to soak up the juices. For reheating, use a microwave or a skillet over medium heat.
