    What’s not to love about a home-prepared, Asian inspired dish? We think it’s even better when we see some not-so-staple ingredients. While when you think stir-fry you may automatically think chicken or beef, but we love seeing the incorporation of seafood into these meals.

    Shrimp With Bok Choy Stir-Fry

    In this dish, you’ll be making a fairly simple stir-fry, using things like shrimp, bok choy, broccoli, and seasoning to get the Asian meal you’ve been craving.

    As most Asian meals are, this one will be done fairly quickly (although you can save a respectable amount of time by using your food processor and spending additional money for shrimp that’s already been deveined and peeled).

    The main ingredient of this dish, shrimp, is one of our favorites for several reasons. First, there’s a neat nutrient in this called glucosamine that supports human cartilage. You can also find a variety of micronutrients, including calcium, phosphorus, and Vitamin B12.

    The dish also includes a healthy amount of brassicas – that’s the bok choy and broccoli – that provide additional nutrients. Note that brassicas, in general, are high in FODMAPs, so if these are a problem for you, this dish may need to be adapted to ensure you can enjoy it without any later discomfort.

    While this dish is quick, it is fairly complex, so we don’t think an overly thoughtful side is necessary here. Try adding a serving of cauliflower rice to serve this on top of for a complete meal.
