Low FODMAP shrimp stir fry
An ideal dish for a weekday! A quick low FODMAP stir-fry with shrimp, green vegetables, rice, and a homemade stir-fry sauce.
You can put this dish on the table within 20 minutes. And it is tasty and healthy!
Combining vegetables on the FODMAP diet
In this dish, I use three different types of vegetables that contain different FODMAP groups.
This way you can eat a reasonable amount of each type of vegetable and you can combine them to get to 200+ grams of vegetables per person in this dish.
If you are going to combine different types of vegetables in the FODMAP diet, check the Monash University FODMAP app to see which FODMAP group they contain.
If you combine two vegetables that contain the same FODMAP group, the total amount of that FODMAP in the dish can become too high and you can then get complaints.
This is called stacking. You can read more about it in my blog about FODMAP stacking.
In this recipe I used:
- Broccoli florets: broccoli florets contain fructose. A serving of 75 grams per person is low FODMAP. You can read more about the FODMAPs in broccoli in this blog.
- Green beans: green beans contain sorbitol. A serving of 75 grams per person is low FODMAP.
- Green bell pepper: green bell pepper contains fructans. A portion of 75 grams per person is low FODMAP.
I prefer not to use red, yellow, or orange bell pepper because these have a smaller low FODMAP serving size and contain the FODMAP group fructose. That is why you can’t combine them as well with broccoli.
For the attentive viewer: you can see yellow bell pepper in the photos. That is because the green bell pepper was sold out everywhere when I started making and photographing this dish 😉
Serving tips for the low FODMAP shrimp stir fry
I made this low-FODMAP stir fry with shrimp and green vegetables. Of course, you can also add other vegetables that you like.
You can also vary this dish by using another protein source instead of shrimp, such as chicken, beef strips, salmon, or white fish.
Tofu is also very tasty as a vegetarian option!
You can also choose to serve the stir fry with noodles instead of rice. I like to use soba noodles or rice noodles, both of which are low FODMAP.
