Sweet and Sour Shrimp Stir Fry

Our all -time favorite dish.  Great for a meal that can be ready in 15-20 minutes

Use your judgement for amount of each ingredient.  I make mine for two generally.

INGREDIENTS FOR STIR FRY

1 Carrot sliced thinly on the diagonal

1 Sweet pepper cut in bite size chunks

About 10 bite-size chunks of pineapple

I onion cut into large slices

1 small zucchini cut into chunks

4-5 sliced mushrooms

Add oil to a heated pan (I use olive oil or grapeseed oil)

10 large shrimp

INGREDIENTS FOR SAUCE

I  have no idea of the excact amounts.  The total should add up to about a half cup.

Duck Sauce

Trader Joe’s Sweet Chili Sauce (probably other companies make this if you do not have a Trader Joes)

Gluten-free Soy Sauce (1 tsp?)

Heaping tablespoon of orange marmalade

1 tsp or tapioca flour (if you are not totally grain free you can use cornstarch)

DIRECTIONS

Heat oil in a heated pan.  I use olive oil or grapeseed oil

Start adding veggies with the ones that need the most cooking first.

Cook two minutes after each addition of vegetables.

Add shrimp last

When shrimp have turned pink, add the sauce and cook for a minute

Serve with cauliflower rice
