Yeast Free Ginger-Scallion Shrimp Stir-Fry
Bright, bold, and packed with fresh aromatics, this shrimp stir-fry is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels like a treat without any of the fuss. The sauce comes together with coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of honey ā no soy sauce, no fermented condiments, nothing that would raise a flag for anyone avoiding yeast or yeast-derived ingredients. Arrowroot starch does the thickening work here, giving the sauce that glossy, restaurant-style finish that clings beautifully to every shrimp and vegetable. Ginger and garlic hit the hot pan at just the right moment, blooming into something fragrant and slightly golden before the shrimp and sauce come back in to tie everything together. Carrots, zucchini, and scallions add color and crunch, so this is a genuinely complete meal straight from the skillet. A scatter of fresh cilantro and those reserved dark-green scallion tops at the end makes it look as good as it tastes.
