My favorite meal is any meal that doesn’t require a lot of effort to make or dirty dishes to clean up afterwards. So I guess you could say this Asparagus Shrimp Stir-Fry is probably my all-time favorite meal. Aside from the oil to cook it in, it’s got only five ingredients and is ready in about fifteen minutes from start to finish. Never mind that it’s a delicious autoimmune protocol-friendly dish! Now, I’ve had a somewhat rocky relationship with shrimp in the past, but this simple lemon-garlic sauce perfectly masks or complements its flavor depending on how you feel about it. Add a couple handfuls of spinach or diced sweet potato if you want to make this a complete meal on its own, or serve it up with an easy side like cauliflower rice or mashed sweet potatoes! It’s also tasty with a garnish of bacon if you don’t mind cooking up some of that first (it’s okay, you can use the same pan).

  1. Is black pepper allowed on AIP? Thanks.

  2. so you’re starting with raw shrimp, right?

  3. Is there anything I can use in place of the broth?

  4. Can frozen asparagus be used?

    1. I haven’t tried it so I can’t say for sure how it would turn out, but I think it would be fine.
