Ingredients
  

For the Stir-Fry
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil Adds healthy fat and flavor; substitute with olive oil or sesame oil if needed.
  • 2 cups Green Beans Provides crunch and freshness; other veggies like broccoli or bell peppers can be used.
  • 1 pound Raw Shrimp The main protein source; try shredded chicken or tofu for all diets.
For the Teriyaki Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Water A base for dissolving the sauce ingredients.
  • 3 tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce The primary flavoring agent; use tamari for gluten-free.

  • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar Adds necessary acidity to balance flavors; apple cider vinegar can substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil Enhances aroma and flavor; optional.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Provides aromatic depth; garlic powder can work if needed.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together water, low sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add green beans and sauté for 4-6 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.
