STAPLE INGREDIENTS

Sauté Aromatics for Shrimp

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions.

2. Sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Cook the Shrimp

3. Add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 2–3 minutes until they turn pink and are just opaque.

Build the Sauce

4. In the same skillet, add the frozen peas and carrots, bone broth, coconut aminos, fish sauce, and tamari. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat for 2–3 minutes.

Stir-Fry the Bok Choy

5. Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds. Add chopped bok choy, stir-fry for 4–6 minutes until tender. Season with salt and coconut aminos. Set aside.

Thicken the Sauce

6. Return to the sauce skillet. Stir the arrowroot slurry (arrowroot + water) into the broth mixture while stirring constantly.Cook for about 1 minute, until thickened.

Add Eggs & Shrimp

7. Slowly drizzle in the beaten eggs while gently stirring to create silky egg ribbons. Cook for another minute, then return the shrimp to the pan and stir to coat.

Finish & Serve

8. Remove from heat and stir in the green parts of the green onions. Garnish with sesame seeds.

9. Serve the shrimp and lobster-style sauce over the sautéed bok choy. Enjoy immediately!

Nutrition Facts:

Shrimp

They're a great source of selenium, which supports immune function and antioxidant activity.

Eggs

Each pastured egg delivers 6g of top-tier protein, making this dish extra satisfying.

Also packed with omega-3s, vitamin D, and B vitamins for mood, memory, and energy.

Egg ribbons in lobster sauce are not just pretty—they add protein, texture, and help naturally thicken the sauce without using heavy cream or processed ingredients.

Garlic & Ginger

Both are natural anti-inflammatories that support immune health and digestion.

Bok Choy

Super low in calories but bursting with vitamin K, C, calcium, and fiber.

Peas & Carrots

Peas add a bonus of plant-based protein and fiber, while carrots offer a beta-carotene (vitamin A) boost for skin and eye health.

Coconut Aminos + Tamari

These are flavorful alternatives to soy sauce—gluten-free, lower in sodium, and made without artificial additives.

Why This Sauce is Extra Healthy

Uses Bone Broth instead of heavy, processed sauces—adding depth of flavor and gut-healing collagen.

No cornstarch—we swapped it for arrowroot powder, a natural, gluten-free thickener that’s easier on digestion.

No MSG, no junk—just clean, real-food ingredients like coconut aminos and tamari.
