10 Minute Spicy Shrimp Stir Fry is a super quick, delicious, and healthy family meal!

This dish is perfect for those nights when you get home, don’t have much time to fix dinner, and want something delicious, yet healthy. Whipping up dinner has never been so tasty and simple; this 10 Minute Spicy Shrimp Stir Fry is the answer to your weeknight cooking slump.

One thing that makes this dish so quick, is keeping frozen shrimp on hand. I love the bags of frozen precooked shrimp because they make throwing together a meal a cinch. Grab a few bell peppers and onions, and this dish is good to go. Chances are you have the spices and peanuts in your pantry, and the sauce ingredients in your fridge. Anyone can make this dish, and it’s really better than take out, and way healthier, too.

Throw some rice in a pot or rice cooker while you are preparing the main dish, and you have the perfect meal, ready in 10-15 minutes. You can reduce the amount of spice depending on your taste, but as written, it’s not that spicy. I would prefer it a little spicier actually!

Recipe Notes

This recipe would also be delicious made with chicken. If you use chicken, I would add the chicken in the beginning with the rest of the vegetables, and cook through, then add the sauce ingredients. May take a few minutes longer.
Don't eat meat? Make this totally vegetarian and just add more of your favorite vegetables!

Things you may need for this recipe:

  • Cutting boards
