30-MINUTE

Broccoli is the perfect vegetable for this dish. The top of the florets soak up the sauce and the stems stay slightly firm, adding texture. Broccoli is a fertility superstar. It’s packed with vitamin C, iron, and folic acid, which is essential for egg maturation in the ovaries. The iron and folic acid found in broccoli can create a healthy endometrial lining for effective attachment of the zygote, and can help prevent birth defects such as spina bifida.

SERVES 4

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes

FOR THE SAUCE

½ cup coconut aminos

¼ cup rice vinegar

3 tablespoons raw honey

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

1 teaspoon minced garlic

¼ teaspoon chili paste

1 tablespoon olive oil

FOR THE SHRIMP

1 pound (16–20 count) shrimp, peeled and deveined

4 cups broccoli florets

Sesame seeds, for garnish

FOR THE SAUCE

1. In a small bowl, stir together the coconut aminos, vinegar, honey, cornstarch, ginger, garlic, and chili paste.

2. Set aside.

FOR THE SHRIMP

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Add the shrimp and sauté for about 6 minutes, until they are just cooked through. Place the shrimp on a plate and set aside.

3. Add the broccoli to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, until they’re tender crisp.

4. Move the broccoli to the side of the skillet and pour in the sauce. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.

5. Add the shrimp back to the skillet and stir to combine the sauce with the broccoli and shrimp. Serve garnished with the sesame seeds.

INFLAMMATION-FIGHTING TIP: Add sweet bell peppers to perfectly complement this spicy sauce. Bell peppers are a fabulous source of several antioxidants such as carotenoids, lutein, and beta-carotene, which can help reduce inflammation in the body. Whenever possible, use organically grown peppers; their level of antioxidants is higher.
