This Sweet and Chili Shrimp Stir Fry recipe is one of my favorite go to recipe when I am looking for a protein packed meal. I like to eat shrimps or some type of seafood 3-4 times a week. Shrimps are high in several vitamins including Omega-3 which is great for your brains and hearts.
HOW TO MAKE THE SWEET AND CHILI SHRIMP STIR FRY:
This dish is more of a sweet and savory dish. It's a sweet and spicy kind of recipe and I am usually a huge fan of those types of recipes. From start to end, you are looking at 20 minutes total prep time.
Start by thinly slicing the peppers. I used yellow and red bell peppers. I bought shredded carrots from the grocery store but you can thinly slice regular carrots at home. Another veggie I used is snow peas. Slice about 3 large cloves of garlic as well. I did not use fresh chili peppers for this recipe but I used the fresh chili pepper paste instead. You can find them at your local grocery stores. It gives a nice color and flavor to the food.
COOKING THE SWEET AND CHILI SHRIMP STIR FRY:
As for the shrimps, I mostly only cook with raw shrimps. Here I have the larger size of shrimps and I usually buy them at either Sam's Club or Costco. In a wok, heat up 2 tbsps. of avocado oil on medium heat and sauté the shrimps, occasionally flipping them over to cook on both sides. This takes about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic, give it a little toss and sauté for another minute. Add in the honey and the chili pepper paste. Cook together for about a minute. Sprinkle some salt and then add in the veggies.
Stir everything together and let the veggies sauté until they are tender. Should be about 5 minutes. Remove and serve. You can garnish with some sliced green onions or some sesame seeds. This Sweet and Chili Shrimp Stir Fry recipe is great for meal prepping as well. I hope you try and enjoy it, and don't forget to share a photo with me on my INSRAGRAM and leave a rating on my recipe card. XoXo..

I made this using Trader Joe's Sweet Chili sauce. Keep this on hand as an everyday condiment. Yummmmy
Sounds yummy! I should go shop at trader Joe's sometime soon. It's a bit far from me but seems like it's worth the drive!
