Summer Stir Fry

I mentioned I have several recipes we have made and I want to share one of our favorites! It is soooo easy and actually pretty good for you. The only thing that takes anytime at all is cutting up all the fresh veggies! It is a pioneer woman recipe, so you know its good!

Summer Stir Fry
The first thing I do is chop up all the veggies, because you add them at different times, and this way they are all ready when you need them. I will sometimes do it during the afternoon when I have some down time and just put them all in separate containers, so when its time to make dinner-I have already done all the prep and it is a quick healthy dinner! 


The first thing you do is sautee the garlic in some butter- I don't use all the butter it calls for and instead use some olive oil. Makes it a little better for you :)


Next you sautee the shrimp, just until they are brown, they go back in later so they don't have to be all the way cooked. The recipe tells you to leave the tails on, so I leave them on during this first step but then while they are cooling and when I do the next couple steps, I take them off so I don't have to do it later. I know its a presentation thing, but I don't want to worry about it when I am ready to eat. 

After you sautee the garlic and shrimp, you remove them and then add the first veggie-zucchini. Cook for a few min then push it all to the side and add the next veggie.


I used corn next- you can really use any veggies you want. Repeat this process again until you are down with adding all the veggies. I used grape tomatoes next.


Let all that cooke for a few minutes, then add the shrimp back in and warm it all.

Isn't it so pretty and colorful!?! I just love this dish and it is super easy to throw together. We always plan our meals our for the week on either Saturday or Sunday and then buy everything we need to the week. If i know I a going to make this, I will get my veggies from the farmers market. I just love how fresh everything is!

I hope you try this and enjoy it as much as we do!
