Garlic Butter Shrimp and Veggie Stir Fry with Lemon Zest.
Savory and Flavorful: The garlic butter sauce is rich and aromatic, perfectly complementing the shrimp and veggies. The addition of lemon zest adds a fresh, zesty kick to balance the richness of the butter.
Protein-Rich Shrimp: Shrimp provides a lean source of protein, making it a great choice for a healthy yet flavorful stir fry.
Colorful Veggies: You can use a mix of vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, and carrots.
Lemon Zest for Freshness: The zest of lemon brings a burst of citrus flavor without the acidity of lemon juice. It enhances the dish with a refreshing, bright contrast to the rich garlic butter.
Simple Ingredients: Key ingredients include shrimp, butter, garlic, vegetables, lemon zest, and seasonings like salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes for a bit of heat.
Quick and Easy: The stir fry can be prepared in just 20-30 minutes, making it a great weeknight meal. The shrimp cooks quickly, and the veggies can be sautéed while the garlic butter sauce simmers.
Customizable Veggies: This stir fry is very customizable based on your preferences. You can swap in different vegetables like asparagus, snap peas, or spinach, depending on what you have on hand.
Flavor Boosts: For extra depth, you can add a splash of soy sauce or coconut aminos, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, or a sprinkle of fresh parsley to finish the dish.
