Sesame Ginger Shrimp and Broccoli Stir Fry

Ingredients:
-1 pound of uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined. The size is up to you. I used 31-40's. I also used frozen shrimp because that was what I had available to me but use fresh if you can get it.
-2 heads of broccoli, cut into florets
-1 lb of mushrooms, quarted. You can use any kind you like. I used button in this recipe but shitake would be great
-1 medium onion
-2 cloves of garlic, minced
-2 inch knob of ginger, minced
-zest and juice of 2 limes
-1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
-2 tbsp honey
-1 tsp red pepper flake
-1 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seed oil

Directions:
-In a mixing bowl, combine the zest of juice of 2 limes, soy sauce, honey and red pepper flakes. Add in your mushrooms and onions to the bowl and toss to coat. Let marinate at room temp for 30 minutes.
-Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp to the pan and cook until ALMOST done. Remove from the pan and set aside.
-Turn the heat up to high. When the oil is smoking, add in garlic and ginger, stirring continuously. Saute for 1 minute.
-Add your mushrooms, onions and the marinade to the pan. Let it cook for 5 minutes, just long enough to get the mushrooms and onions tender.
-In the mean time, steam your broccoli until crisp tender.
-When the mushrooms and onions are done, add your cooked shrimp back into the pan just to warm through. During this time the shrimp will finish cooking. You DON'T want to overcook your shrimp as it gets fishy.
-Turn the heat OFF. Add the broccoli in and drizzle with sesame seed oil.
-Serve over brown rice or quinoa. Enjoy!
