Cashew Shrimp

This recipe is as delicious as it is beautiful. It’s the epitome of color your plate. Since starting Whole 30, I really wanted nourishing, filling meals, but I also didn’t want to break my back after a day of work to cook something. Enter cashew shrimp. This recipe could be altered with any meat you like – chicken thighs, beef, salmon, etc. It really is versatile. It’s a one pan meal (aside from needing one bowl to mix the sauce in). I made the recipe for myself and my husband. It made 4 meals total.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs shrimp
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 head of broccoli, chopped

  5. Add shrimp to pan and pour over remaining sauce.
