Citrus Free Shrimp and Vegetable Stir-Fry with Coconut Aminos

This vibrant stir-fry delivers everything you want from a weeknight dinner — tender shrimp, crisp snow peas, sweet carrots, and a glossy, savory sauce that comes together in minutes. The real star of the sauce is coconut aminos, which brings that deep, umami-rich flavor you'd expect from soy sauce without any of the usual concerns about hidden additives. Apple cider vinegar steps in to add a gentle tang, keeping things bright and balanced without relying on lemon or orange juice. Arrowroot starch thickens the sauce beautifully, giving it that satisfying restaurant-style coating that clings to every piece of shrimp and vegetable. The high-heat technique — cooking the shrimp first, then building the vegetables in stages — means nothing gets rubbery or soggy, just perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Lime wedges are listed as optional for serving, so you can easily skip them and the dish still stands completely on its own. It's the kind of meal that feels impressive but asks very little of you on a busy evening.
