Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon avocado oil
1 teaspoon ginger fresh grated
2 garlic cloves minced
1 tablespoon gochujang
1 gluten-free soy sauce or 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
1/2 tablespoon monk fruit powdered, or several drops stevia glycerite, to taste, omit if using coconut aminos
1 pound large shrimp raw, peeled and deveined
4 cups baby spinach
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 green onion sliced
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds optional, for garnish

Instructions

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the avocado oil, garlic, and ginger. Cook until fragrant and the garlic begins to color, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the gochujang, soy, monk fruit, and shrimp. Cook, until the first side of the shrimp is opaque, about 1 minute. Flip and cook until the second side is opaque as well, 1 more minute or so. Add in the spinach and stir until just wilted, 1 minute more.
Off heat, sprinkle with sesame oil, green onions, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
