Preparation and cooking overview
Prepare this shrimp stir-fry in a flash. Start by sautéing the shrimp in vegetable oil and butter with sambal oelek, oyster sauce, and erythritol. Next, toss the string beans and chicken broth, letting it all steam. In just 10 minutes, you'll have a mouthwatering Asian dish ready to enjoy.
Chef's note
Keto wok recipes let you be creative! If you can't find sambal oelek, just use chili-garlic paste. It'll still give you that Asian taste. And for something crunchy, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on top.

Chef's pro tip
You'll want to keep your wok hot from start to finish for the best results. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, or they will turn rubbery. Just remove them from heat once they turn light pink and opaque, and taste to check if they're cooked thoroughly.
