Hello guys, so today I have 2 sumptuous shrimp recipes that I simply cannot wait to share with you. Each recipe is beginner-friendly, family-friendly, non-time-consuming, and most importantly, healthy with the right amount of calories per serving. Having said that, let’s see how to make both garlic shrimp stir fry as well as Louisiana-style shrimp with steamed rice;
1. Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry Recipe
- Serves:4-6.

- Difficulty Level: Easy.
Yummy, succulent, and rich in flavor, garlic shrimp stir fry can be a great option for a weekday lunch. Since shrimp is light, without a side dish, you can be sure that this delicacy won’t have you return to your workstation filling too full to concentrate for the remainder of your workday. Plus, it’s very easy to prepare with only 5 simple steps involved in the process. It takes only 20 minutes to prepare the ingredients and ready the dish. This means you can make the delicacy in the morning to carry as your packed lunch. I suggest you invest in a nice self-heating lunch box though if you carry packed lunch to the office. If you already have one, that’s awesome and good work.
