Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon garlic-infused oil
  • 1 pound shrimp – peeled and deveined
  • 1 red bell pepper – thinly sliced (low-FODMAP in portions of up to ½ cup)
  • 1 zucchini – julienned
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 2 tablespoons tamari or gluten-free soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch – mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional for thickening)
  • Optional garnish: sesame seeds and sliced green onion tops (green parts only)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat the garlic-infused oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the bell pepper, zucchini, and spinach. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the tamari, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Pour the sauce into the skillet and toss to coat the vegetables. If a thicker sauce is desired, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes.
  5. Combine & Serve: Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to combine. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onion tops if desired. Serve immediately.
