WHAT GOES WITH SHRIMP STIR FRY

Parboil rice, however you can omit the rice if you are on a keto diet and or use cauliflower rice or quinoa in replace if desired. 

For this dish I used parboil rice, i find it works best in comparison to basmati which is better for East Indian type dishes. 

IS SHRIMP STRI FRY HEALHY

Yes, prawns are packed full of lean protein then when you add the bell peppers to this dish you then add in plenty of fiber and antioxidants from the vegetables. Not to mention the fresh garlic and spices that make this dish come all together. 

WHAT KIND OF SHRIMP FOR STIR FRY

The best kind is unpeeled, raw shrimp. The bigger the better of course!
