Hazelnut Free Ginger-Scallion Shrimp Stir-Fry
Bold, bright, and packed with weeknight energy, this shrimp stir-fry delivers serious restaurant-level flavor without a single ingredient that could cause concern for anyone avoiding tree nuts. The shrimp get a quick toss in coconut aminos and arrowroot starch before hitting a screaming-hot skillet, which locks in a lightly glossy, savory crust that makes every bite satisfying. Carrots, zucchini, and scallions add color and crunch, while fresh ginger and sliced garlic bloom in the center of the pan for about thirty seconds ā just long enough to turn fragrant and golden without burning. The sauce comes together from coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, honey, and a touch more arrowroot starch, thickening into a glossy, clingy coating that ties everything together beautifully. Because the ingredient list is built entirely around whole, simple pantry staples, there's no need to scrutinize labels for hidden nut-based oils or sauces that sometimes sneak into store-bought stir-fry blends. A scatter of dark-green scallion tops and optional fresh cilantro finish the dish with a pop of freshness that makes it look as good as it tastes.
