STIR-FRY - start while rice is cooking

  1. Coat shrimp with Rooted Path Jerk Seasoning (1/2 tbsp per serving) and seasoning with salt.

  2. Heat frying pan over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp of oil. Once oil is hot, add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side.

  3. Remove shrimp from pan and set aside.

  4. Add 1 tbsp of oil to the pan. Once oil is hot, add onions, season with salt and sauté until tender, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. Add sausage, broccoli, bell peppers and zucchini, sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. Add vegetable broth to the pan and cover. Let steam for 2-5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

  7. Remove from heat and mix in shrimp.


Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.

🔄 Substitutions

Make it your own. Swap the shrimp for another protein or adjust the combination to suit your tastes:


Extra Sausage • Chicken • Tofu


Make it vegetarian: Skip both the shrimp and sausage and use tofu instead. Add extra seasonal vegetables for an even heartier stir-fry.


Change up the base: Skip the rice and serve your stir-fry with roasted potatoes, quinoa or toss everything with pasta for a completely different meal.
