Four Ingredient "Veri Veri" Teriyaki Shrimp and Soba

/

This is one of my favorite meal prep treats and it's literally one of the easiest to make. My partner and I were getting tired of our old lunchtime standbys (chicken salad, meat loaf, salmon). Sometimes you just want something that tastes as good as Chinese takeout or ramen but that won't leave you feeling gross and bloated. Try this quick one that only has FOUR ingredients and can be prepped and stored for easy lunches or dinners during the week.

We use soba which is a buckwheat noodle poplar in Japan with lots of health benefits (it's gluten free for instance). Most grocery stores carry soba now. You store and prep it just like dried spaghetti. If you don't like or can't find soba you can also use frozen jasmine or frozen brown rice. Now, even though we use "less sodium" sauce, the stuff is still high in sodium. So make sure the rest of your meals for the day are moderate in sodium and always drink plenty of water. Nutritional info and macros follow below. 

What You Need

  1. Trader Joe's Argentinian Shrimp (they come deveined with no tails)

  2. Veri Veri Teriyaki Less Sodium Marinade & Sauce

  3. Soba noodles

  4. Frozen broccoli florets

What to Do

  1. Defrost shrimp, put in a bowl and toss with ~1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce and let sit for ~15-30 minutes.

  2. Boil soba as instructed on the package (we use half of a bundle per entree) and place into your entree containers. 

  3. Dump the shrimp and sauce into a skillet and sauté over medium/high heat for ~3 minutes on each side.

  4.  Put the shrimp and all the liquid from the pan into your containers over the soba.

  5. Fill the rest of your containers with broccoli. 

  6. Let cool, cover and store in the fridge.

  7. Microwave for 90s when ready to eat.
