Spicy Cajun Shrimp Stir Fry with Bell Peppers and Zucchini.
Bold Cajun Flavors: The shrimp are seasoned with a spicy Cajun seasoning blend, which includes paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, and thyme. This gives the dish a bold, zesty kick with a little heat.
Protein-Packed Shrimp: Shrimp is a lean, protein-rich option that cooks quickly, making it perfect for stir fry dishes. The spicy Cajun coating enhances its natural sweetness and flavor.
Fresh Vegetables: Bell peppers and zucchini add color, crunch, and a fresh contrast to the spicy shrimp. These veggies also contribute fiber and essential vitamins to the dish.
Quick Cooking: The entire dish comes together in just 20-30 minutes. The shrimp cooks fast, and the vegetables can be quickly sautéed, making it a perfect weeknight dinner option.
Healthy Fats: You can use olive oil or avocado oil for sautéing, both of which provide healthy fats while helping the Cajun seasoning to adhere to the shrimp and veggies.
Perfect Balance of Heat and Flavor: The Cajun seasoning brings heat, while the bell peppers and zucchini add sweetness and freshness, balancing out the dish beautifully.
Customizable Veggies: You can adjust the vegetables in the stir fry based on what’s in season or what you prefer. For example, add onions, snap peas, or mushrooms for more variety.
Serve with a Side: This stir fry pairs well with steamed rice, quinoa, or even a side of avocado for a creamy contrast to the spicy shrimp.
