Notes
- Vegetables - Use whatever vegetables you lie for this keto stir fry recipe. Zucchini are quick to cook, but you could also use broccoli florets, sliced bell pepper, mushrooms, or baby boy choy.
- Size of shrimp - I prefer large shrimp but you really could use any size you like. 1 pound of shrimp is 1 pound of shrimp no matter the size. Smaller shrimp will cook more quickly and will be cheaper.
- Store bought teriyaki sauce - Most store bought sauces have a lot of sugar. G Hughes does have a sugar free version you could try. That would make this recipe even faster.
- Store: keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Meal Prep: Let the keto stir fry cool completely and then transfer into 4 separate meal prep containers, divided evenly.
