22 Feb Shrimp Stir Fry

Stir fries are such a great way to get in veggies. Its also super easy to make and you can use whatever veggies you have in your fridge and also use frozen veggies as well. Feel free to add whatever protein source you want – chicken, shrimp, beef or tofu. I love cooking with shrimp mainly because it takes just minutes to cook up 🙂 One thing you want to be mindful of is the sauces that you use in your stir-fries. Many of them are loaded with salt and sugar.
