Whole30 Shrimp and Scallop Stir Fry – Paleo

This Whole30 Shrimp and Scallop Stir Fry takes less than 30 minutes to prepare and can be adapted in a number of different ways. Feel free to substitute your favourite vegetables in place of the ones listed here. After all, I was just using what I had in the fridge!

Not a fan of snow peas? Use broccoli!

Can’t get your kids to eat carrots? Try water chestnuts?

Saving your celery for morning juice? Throw some bok choy in there!

You can also make this with chicken or beef, if so desired. Again, I relied on what I had in the freezer!
