Instructions

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat combine soy sauce, water, vinegar, sugar, honey, garlic and ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • While sauce is cooking combine warm water and tapioca starch. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add slurry water to sauce and whisk for 1 minute, or until teriyaki sauce begins to thicken. Remove sauce from heat and set aside.
  • In a large saute pan or wok combine olive oil, carrots, and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes over medium heat.
  • Push veggies to the side and add shrimp. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until shrimp are almost cooked through.

Notes

  • If you are Paleo, use coconut liquid aminos and either apple cider vinegar or leave it out completely.  (If you're on a more strict, autoimmune protocol Paleo diet, swap out the snap peas for broccoli.)
  • You can use brown sugar instead of coconut sugar and ½ tablespoon cornstarch instead of tapioca starch.
