Keto Asian Glazed Shrimp with Bok Choy
Coconut aminos (or, your favorite soy sauce) give the shrimp a sweet, decadent glaze on the shrimp, that are lightly sautéed before being combined with bok choy stems and leaves.
Add a dash of this and a bit of that, and you may find yourself wanting to double the recipe *just* to have enough left for the next day’s lunch menu.
Who doesn’t love a simple meal?
Serve as is – or, on top of a bed of your favorite cauliflower rice (or, Mexican cauliflower rice). It’s truly up to you. I like this as is. I also find myself tripling the recipe just to have enough for lunches over the course of several days.
You could even serve this with Keto-friendly low carb cheddar jalapeno biscuits too. One word: YUM!
Every so often it’s nice to give your Instant Pot a break – after all, most of us don’t like cooking meal after meal, day after day. That pot needs a break just as much as we do.
So while you are cooking up this Asian Glazed Shrimp with Bok Choy, take some time to give your Instant Pot a good scrub down and soak the inner rings.
