We’ve been on a bit of an Asian food kick.
Trashy takeout teriyaki, to be honest.
I finally decided to class it up and make a healthier version of our current teriyaki addiction using our Sizzlefish stash.
When you eat the take out variety of teriyaki, you’re limited to chicken. At home, you can teriyaki any protein you like. I chose to make a Shrimp Teriyaki Stir Fry.
The marinade is simple – just 3 ingredients! I’m a firm believer that everything belongs in the freezer, so I had a giant nob of ginger in the freezer ready for a quickie (tee hee).
You can make your own teriyaki sauce… or you can feed your Amazon addiction and order a yummy clean version online. Dear sweet baby Jesus, thank you for Prime.
Back to the shrimp. One of my favorite things about Sizzlefish is that it’s quick. They ship everything individually portioned, which makes it super-fast to thaw. 5 minutes in a bowl of hot water and my shrimps were ready to go!
The rest is a breeze – sauté and eat. You can use anything you have on hand, but I highly recommend the bok choy and ‘shrooms. With a hearty veggie base, you’ll never miss that dry take out rice. Even Vegas agrees.
I did manage to repurpose some of the chili paste from our last order. Waste not, want not! (Lawd, I sound like my dad…)

Shrimp Teriyaki Stir Fry
- 1/4 C teriyaki sauce
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 T fresh minced ginger, diced
- 8 oz shrimp*
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced (~1 C)
- 1 portabello mushroom, diced
- 3 bunches baby bok choy, chopped
- 1 scallion, chopped
Marinade shrimp in teriyaki, garlic, and minced ginger for 15 mins. In the mean time, prep the veggies.
Sauté the red bell pepper and mushroom in the sesame oil over med-high heat until softened (~5 mins). Add the shrimp marinade and bok choy. Cook just until shrimp are pink (~8 mins), then remove from heat.
Plate and top with scallions. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
Makes 2 servings.
*You can sub in your favorite protein – this would be great with tofu or chicken!

I’m on a (healthy!) roll in the kitchen… lots ‘o recipes to come!
What’s your favorite trashy take out?
Have you ever made your own teriyaki?
Keep it classy girl! I’ve made my own teriyaki before because I don’t like the ingredients in most that are at my local store. It surprised me how easy it is. And this recipe looks delicious. You can never go wrong with a good stir fry!
Argh… now I’m going to have to try it. 😉 Do you have a recipe you like?
We just went for hibachi the other night because my son is addicted to “cooked rice.” It was not the best pre-race meal for me but whatever – it’s delicious! I have yet to try sizzle fish but we eat A LOT of fish around here so maybe it’s time…
Gurrrrrrl… can’t imagine that on a race tummy…
I love making stir fries. So quick and easy.
We’ve been doing a lot of Asian food too lately. Stirfries are just so easy and don’t heat up the house like the oven does!
I know that’s right! So hot!
My kids love shrimp stir fry. I love bok choy yum
I learned something new about Vegas – bok choy is one of her favorites!
this is making me hungry….i need to go reheat my leftover turkey chili, yet here i am drooling at this.
Bok choy for the win! 🙂 Thanks to you, I’ve added the teriyaki coconut aminos to my evergrowing (permanent) Vitacost cart! 🙂
Woot! It’s amazing stuff!
repurposing food is a must. Sizzlefish shrimp is a must. Asian food (okay and middle eastern) is a must. Damn, why are we not neighbors again? MUST make that happen.
Neighbors?! Whatever. Let’s live in a commune together.
You are on a recipe roll. Come cook for me…say in like five weeks or so. 🙂
I will… in exchange for baby kisses , booze, and cheese puffs.
Yay for Sizzlefish, I’m a huge fan! And what a perfect way to use those lovely shrimp! I’m addicted to teriyaki too and your dish would definitely satisfy that craving!
They’re the best, right?! I’d love to hear what you think if you try this!
I’ll be honest. My sauce would probably come from Amazon.
Ain’t no shame! 😉
ALL ABOUT the 3-ingredient recipe…. I love me some manage a trois! HA! Shhhh don’t tell L, he will take me very seriously and ask the next chick with huge tits he sees…. If she’s in! GAH! I will just make this shrimp dish and shove it in his mouth.
Manage a trois… it just sounds so classy.
