Shrimp Stir Fry Freezer Pack
Freezer-to-skillet stir fry! With bell peppers, sugar snap peas, carrots and broccoli. Quick and speedy in just 10 min!!!
After making that cilantro lime chicken freezer meal, I’ve been kind of hooked.
Because freezer meals are just absolutely genius.
Whether you’re a new mom, a fresh-out-of-high-school college student, or a millennial working 40-60 hour weeks, these will quickly become your lifeline.
Just prep during the weekends – and I promise, it won’t take long – so you can take these packs right out of the freezer and straight to the skillet.
Now this is my all-time favorite stir fry sauce.
Plus, the shrimp will marinate as it freezes.
So basically, we all win here. And we’re saving time.
Here’s an added bonus.
You can serve this over a bowl of brown rice, and take the leftovers to work the very next day.

Do you have to thaw it out first or do you just cook it from the frozen stage?
Thank you- great idea!!! Perfect for this working mom!
One question- do you defrost it first or just dump it in the pan frozen?
Love this!!
I have done something similar — using shrimp, sliced chicken breast, or sliced beef steak — and putting together single-serving stir-fry freezer packs.
It came in super handy when I laid up a few years ago after brain surgery. I had a couple of weeks to prepare, and I knew I’d be “kitchen-challenged” for several weeks while I was recovering and on some pretty wicked meds. I knew I’d need simple, easy-to-prepare meals. I prepped a bunch of these single-serving stir fry packs and loaded the freezer. I managed to eat well until I was cleared to drive again and able to tackle a multi-step recipe without fogging out. 🙂
