Ingredients
- 1 pound of shrimp peeled and deveined (you can use frozen, too!)
- 2 cups of green cabbage shredded
- 4 cloves of garlic minced (because garlic makes everything better!)
- 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil or coconut oil for a twist
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: A squeeze of lime for that extra zing!
Instructions
- Sautéing Garlic: In a large skillet, heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot (but not smoking), toss in the minced garlic. Let it sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Keep it moving so it doesn’t burn—burnt garlic is a no-no!
- Cooking the Shrimp: Now, add the shrimp to the skillet. Stir them around for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Like little sea gems turning color, it’s mesmerizing!
- Spice It Up: Sprinkle the turmeric, and give it a good stir. Add the soy sauce, and let it coat all the delicious shrimp. Don’t forget to season with a bit of salt and pepper—a pinch goes a long way!
- Adding the Cabbage: Time to add in the shredded cabbage! The vibrant greens will add crunch to our dish. Stir it gently into the mixture. Cook everything together for another 3-4 minutes until the cabbage softens but remains vibrant in color.
- Final Touch: If you’re feeling fancy, squeeze a bit of lime over the top for a refreshing finish. Give it one last stir!
