HONEY LIME CAJUN SHRIMP STIR FRY
This is a recipe I developed myself. The first stir fry that 2 out of 3 of my kids will eat! I took the basic marinade from Recipe #231870 and made up my own stir fry. The vegetables are what I had on hand, so feel free to adjust the veggies to what you like to use. Time includes only 1 hour of marinading.

CAJUN SHRIMP STIR FRY
I got this out of a magazine called "Clean Eating" This is low in fat and sugar. Both DH and I found it to be outstanding. It may say fry but there is nothing fatty about it. It would also be great on the Weight Watchers program.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will ensure that you have enough space to stir-fry the shrimp and vegetables without overcrowding them.
- Cook the shrimp in batches: If you overcrowd the skillet, the shrimp will not cook evenly. Cook the shrimp in batches, removing them from the skillet once they are cooked through.
- Do not overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and flavor to your stir-fry. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and snow peas.
- Make sure your sauce is well-balanced: The sauce is an important part of this dish, so make sure it is flavorful and well-balanced. Adjust the amount of honey, lime juice, and Cajun seasoning to your taste.
- Serve over rice: This stir-fry is traditionally served over rice. However, you can also serve it over noodles or quinoa.
Conclusion:
This honey lime Cajun shrimp stir-fry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and tasty meal, give this recipe a try.
