When you're short on time and need a quick, protein-rich lunch or dinner, this simple shrimp stir-fry is a wonderful option! It comes together in about 15 minutes with fresh summer vegetables, lime, and plenty of fragrant basil. I like to keep frozen wild Gulf shrimp on hand so I can make meals like this whenever I need something quick. Simply thaw the shrimp in a bowl of cold water, then drain and pat dry before cooking. You can use whatever fresh basil you have available, but I especially love the flavor of African blue basil in this recipe. Serve with sliced avocado for an easy, nourishing meal.

Ingredients
1 tablespoons avocado oil
1¼ pounds shrimp
½ small red onions chopped
2 small yellow zucchini cut into thick slices
2 anaheim peppers seeded and sliced
½ teaspoons Herbamare
1 teaspoons lime zest
1 tablespoons lime juice
1 cups African blue basil
