HI, super love bok choy. Love shrimp, but as they say shrimp don’t love me. Can you suggest other veggies to go with this?
Thank you,

Thanks for the little tips in the recipe like when to add the salt and how long to sautee the garlic. I used coconut oil and my husband said it tasted restaurant quality. Result!
Awesome!

Yup…amazing! Love combo of ingredients in this recipe! Oh and the photos…..beautiful!!
Loved this recipe. Love baby bok choy — so easy to prepare. I used medium size shrimp (21-25) because I already had them in my freezer — very juicy and tasty. And doubled the bok choy. I tossed with a splash of Kikkoman “Milder” low sodium soy sauce at the end for a flavorful touch. Wonderful over brown rice.
Sounds yummy, thanks for trying my baby bok choy recipe.
