About
You will love this Keto Air Fryer recipe for Shrimp and Broccoli Stir Fry! The recipe uses succulent, sweet shrimp marinated in oyster sauce, sea salt, and white pepper. The shrimp are cooked first and set aside. Then a mixture of sliced carrots, broccoli florets, and sliced white onion are cooked in soy sauce then tossed together with the shrimp. Soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and sesame seed oil are added for authentic flavor. The result is a delicious stir-fry-like dish that is simple to make in the air fryer!
What can I use if I do not have an air fryer?
If you do not have an air fryer, stir fry the shrimp first with a bit of avocado oil. Remove the shrimp to a plate. Then saute the vegetables until cooked to the desired doneness. Toss both the shrimp and vegetables together, and then add in the final seasonings.
Are carrots Low Carb?
Yes, you can enjoy carrots in moderation on a Low Carb diet! I love a Low Carb diet because it offers so much flexibility in terms of what can be eaten as long as you stay within your carb limit (for most people, this is eating to their glycemic variability).
I do not like shrimp. Can I use something else?
Yes, you can use chicken breast instead of shrimp, although the macros will be slightly different. So if you are counting macros, keep this in mind.
