Nothing like craving Chinese take out when you are watching your carbs. No, there is no rice or noodles in this recipe unless you want to top off some brown rice or whole wheat noodles with this stir fry. Some stir fried veggies would go nicely aside of this.
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
2 cups shredded cabbage or packaged cole slaw mix
6 tsp olive oil (can add peanut oil or sesame oil, though I never tried it that way)
salt and pepper, to taste
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
20 medium shrimp, uncooked, peeled and deveined
4 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp soy sauce (can use low sodium, I do)
2 tsp dried cilantro
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper (adjust to your heat preference)
Directions:
Heat 3 tsp of oil in skillet or wok.
Add cabbage; stir fry for 2 minutes or until tender.
Remove the cabbage, keep warm and season with salt and pepper to taste.
In the same skillet or wok, add remaining 3 tsp of oil and stir fry onions and garlic until tender (don\\\'t burn).
Add shrimp, water and soy sauce; cook until shrimp turns pink.
Sprinkle with cilantro and red pepper and stir well.
Serve over the reserved cabbage.
