Sesame Shrimp and Zucchini Stir Fry
2 Tbsp. avocado oil, divided
1½ pounds medium raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
¼ cup soy sauce (or liquid aminos or coconut aminos)
¼ cup broth or stock
1½ Tbsp. corn starch
1 Tbsp. honey or maple syrup
2 tsp. sesame oil
1 Tbsp. fresh minced garlic
1 Tbsp. fresh minced ginger
2 medium large zucchini, sliced into ¼ inch thick half moons - skin on
2 tsp. sesame seeds
2 green onions, sliced

In a large bowl, whisk the soy sauce, broth, cornstarch, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. This is the stir fry sauce. 

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat avocado oil then cook shrimp until they turn pink and opaque in the center and are nicely browned on outside.  Then quickly transfer them to the bowl with the stir fry sauce. In that same hot skillet, add the remaining 1 Tbsp. avocado oil and stir fry the zucchini for 2-3 minutes.  Return the cooked shrimp and sauce to the pan and allow to heat through till sauce is bubbly and thickened - about 2-3 minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions and serve over rice.
