Happy Money Saving Monday Friends!

Im really excited about this one, because i have been obsessed with this budget friendly meal for a while.

If you know me, you know I love shrimp. Not the little baby ones either…I like the Big Daddies (we eat with our eyes first). Not only do they look delicious, but they deliver a more enjoyable eating experience…even with a budget friendly stir fry.

So lets break it down shall we

Shrimp: Shrimp is one of my favorite proteins because of it’s versatility. With a quick thaw & peel, you can have great chicken replacement in salads, pastas and so much more. It’s high in protein and easier on the digestion, so if you need a protein packed meal that is light…shrimp is a great go to.

Asparagus: I’ve been on an asparagus kick lately and I forgot how much I love it. It’s low in calories but adds some bulk and has a diuretic effect. I like to sauté some in a skillet before adding the shrimp to help soften it up a bit.

Coconut Aminos: I like using Tamari in marinades and stuff, but I do not like it in stir fry (it overwhelms me). Coconut aminos give the right amount of flavor without the excess sodium…and the smoky bbq coconut aminos have a sweetness that’s really enjoyable.

Avocado: I think we all get it. It’s avocado. You may not think it works with stir fry…but it does

Furikake seasoning: Its an unhealthy obsession at this point. I absolutely love it on rice, avocado and anything I can get away with putting it on.

And the best part about this meal (besides the fact that it’s cheap 5.45 per serving) is that it can be easily customized for anyone’s weight management and lifestyle goals.  Adjust the macros for weight loss, lean muscle gain and maintenance.
