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.
