Steps:
- If you are using raw shrimp you will need to remove shells and vein.
- First prepare the marinade by mixing the almond butter, coconut oil, sesame oil, water, vinegar, honey, sriracha sauce, rep pepper flakes, garlic and salt together in a bowl large enough to hold all shrimp.
- Once you have cleaned shrimp (you can use precooked for this if you wish but remove the tails) add shrimp to marinade, stir and let set 20-30 minutes.
- While shrimp are marinading cut vegetables and mushrooms.
- When shrimp are done marinading, Place frozen and fresh vegetables in heated wok or skillet (I have a vegetable basket I place on the grill for mine). Stir in the hot oil for 1-2 minutes. Add shrimp but not all the sauce. Stir shrimp into vegetables and let cook till heated through. Add remaining marinade sauce and stir.
- Cook until shrimp are pink and vegetables are done but still on the lightly crisp side. (if using precooked shrimp make sure you get it heated through good).
- Serve with grilled summer squash or grilled romaine lettuce.

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give your stir-fry the best flavor and texture. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch will help to tenderize them and give them extra flavor.
- Use a hot wok: A hot wok is essential for getting a good sear on the shrimp and vegetables. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet over high heat.
- Stir-fry in batches: Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet. Stir-fry the shrimp and vegetables in batches so that they cook evenly.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to use any vegetables you like in your stir-fry. Some popular choices include broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and snow peas.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately after it's cooked. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Shrimp stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. With a little bit of planning, you can have a healthy and flavorful stir-fry on the table in under 30 minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give shrimp stir-fry a try.
