Paleo Lemon Shrimp Stir Fry

June 1, 2015 By Shannah Coe 7 Comments

Happy Paleo Monday! Are you ready to start this week off right with a delicious paleo recipe? I definitely am! Right now, the weather here is crazy how which means I want to spend as little time cooking in the kitchen as physically possible. So, I pick things that cook fast to make dinner quick and easy. I picked up some asparagus at the farmer’s market recently and used it to make a yummy paleo lemon shrimp stir fry.

Paleo Lemon Shrimp Stir Fry

The great thing about cooking with shrimp is that they take almost no time to cook! Combine that with how quickly asparagus cooks and this recipes takes almost no time to make. I serve mine over cauliflower rice but I have also eaten it with just the shrimp and asparagus too! The lemon adds the perfect amount of zing to the dish.

Ingredients for Paleo Lemon Shrimp Stir Fry:

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbsp olive oil + 1 tsp, divided
1 Tbsp ghee
1 lb asparagus, trimmed and cut into pieces
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
½ tsp crushed red pepper
Cauliflower Rice for serving

Let’s Make It:

1) Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp ghee over medium heat in a pan. Add onion and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and saute for an additional minute. Add shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes until they just start to turn turn color.

2) Add remaining olive oil and asparagus to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, for 4-6 minutes until shrimp are fully cooked and asparagus is bright green in color.

3) Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, lemon zest and crushed red pepper.

A delicious paleo recipe that cooks in under 15 minutes is awesome. This recipe goes on our menu all the time because it is one I know we all love and that I can cook super fast on one of our really busy weeknights.

    This sounds so simple to do. And I love cauliflower “rice”. I’ve been using so much cauliflower lately for everything, think this might be my next venture 🙂

    That dish does look very nice, my husband would like that. We tend to eat light in the summer, but then I also like to have a dessert as well.
    Thanks for bringing this to the #HomeMattersParty
