Shrimp and Broccoli

So, I posted this video on my Instagram yesterday without putting much thought into it or the recipe.  This was a quick meal that I threw together because I didn’t want to order out, and I wanted to make sure my babies were getting some REAL food.  So, I took a look in my fridge and pulled out some veggies that were on their way out and the shrimp I had been thawing since the previous night and this yummy meal was created.  My girls loved it and apparently you guys did also so, heres the much requested recipe.  The best part of this is you can make it Keto friendly by subbing the brown sugar with a keto-friendly sugar and use cauliflower rice instead of the jasmine rice.  Enjoy this gem and make sure you tag me on Instagram.

Recipe Notes

This sauce can be enjoyed with veggies and rice.

You can sub out shrimp for any of your favorite proteins or make it a veggie medley using your favorite vegetables.

Fresh ginger is always my preference if you have it on hand.

Cornstarch isn't necessary unless you prefer a thicker sauce (I didn't use any in mine)

Miso Tamari isn't necessary I just used it because I had it on hand. Soy works just fine.

KETO SUBS:

Omit the brown sugar and sub for a keto friendly sugar.

Hoison has 6g of carbs so depending on your carb intake for the day you can omit this as well.

Cauliflower rice

Most importantly remember this is your meal so do you! Make it your own i.e. use the veggies you prefer, what I used is what I had on hand.
