South Beach Shrimp Stir-Fry is quick and easy for a weeknight dinner. It can be on the table in less than 30 minutes when you’re craving shrimp! It is also great if you are on the Keto diet.
Shrimp is one of those seafood staples you can add to any meal. Are you digging into a green salad? Top it with shrimp. Whipping up a quick stir fry? Mix in some shrimp. Shrimp recipes are perhaps the most popular seafood dishes to “indulge” in. Shrimp also happens to be one of the favorite Proteins on the South Beach Diet. You can prepare it in so many ways. Most South Beach shrimp recipes are nutritious and delicious!
But in this easy South Beach Shrimp Stir-Fry recipe, the seafood favorite takes center stage. Cooked with a whole host of veggies, this dish is very flavorful.
South Beach Shrimp Stir-Fry
Are you on your South Beach Diet Maintenance Phase? Serve this simple South Beach shrimp stir-fry meal over brown rice for a filling DIY dinner. You could also swap in scallops for another high-protein seafood option.
I think Stir-Fry Recipes are great any time of year. Shrimp stir-fries are especially quick and easy for a treat if you keep shrimp in the freezer. But for this recipe, we are using fresh shrimp. This delicious Stir-Fried Shrimp is an easy dinner idea that uses minced ginger and garlic to add so much flavor to shrimp and vegetables.
Do Stir-Fry Need To Have Thickener?
I’ve made a few stir-fry recipes without using anything to thicken the sauce. Cornstarch has a lot of thickening power, but it has 7 carbs in one tablespoon. On South Beach & Keto, I’m not sure you need the cornstarch. Just cook the sauce a little longer.

Notes
Nutrition
The South Beach Diet
South Beach Diet, is named after the South Beach section of Miami. It is a modified low-carb diet. It is lower in carbs and higher in protein and healthy fats than your typical eating plan. But it’s really not a strict low-carb diet.
The South Beach Diet was created in 2003 by cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston, M.D. South Beach preaches that it is a healthy way of eating whether you want to lose weight or not. The purpose of South Beach is to change the overall balance of the foods you eat to encourage weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. (https://www.southbeachdiet.com/how-it-works/index.jsp)
Exercise
South Beach recommends exercise as an important part of healthy living. They say that regular exercise will boost your metabolism and help prevent weight-loss plateaus. Without exercise, it seems to derail other low-carb diets.
Diet details
South Beach is a combination of complex carbs (or the “good carbs”, which include whole grains, fruit, beans, vegetables, and legumes), lean protein, and healthy fats. It is a fiber-rich diet that you can follow for a “lifetime of healthy eating”. Simple carbs, or “bad” carbs, include sugar, syrup, and baked goods made from refined white flour.
The simplistic view is cut out the “White Food” – processed sugar, white bread, white flour, pasta, among others. Processed food – BAD. Fresh fruit, lean protein & veggies – GOOD.
