Stir-fry is often a great way to use up veggies, proteins, and other ingredients in your fridge. And the most awesome part is that they typically are a quick dish to make on a weeknight. It’s easy though to get stuck in a rotation of how you cook your stir-fry. These 30-minute stir fry recipes, with a variety of flavor profiles and ingredients to try, should offer some fun inspiration!
We like stir fry for meal prep too, especially when the weather is warm and/or our schedules are full, because they don’t over heat the kitchen. And they’re fast! All of these recipes are ready in 30 minutes or less, so you’ll be out of the kitchen in a jiffy and able to go and do something fun with the rest of your day.

Shrimp are an ideal protein for stir fry because they both defrost fast and cook even faster! A garlic sauce is hard to resist here. Serve with rice or noodles.
