6 medium Radishes, sliced

juice of 2 limes
1 T. garlic (I use minced from a jar)
1/4 c. fresh cilantro

Tips
a quick dinner. It's recommended to prep & slice all the veggies before you start. An even quicker "cheat" is to buy the ingredients off of a salad bar pre-cut! (shredded carrots, sliced radishes, etc...)
Directions
1. Heat oil in large skillet. Saute peapods for 2 min. Add shrimp. (Note: The shrimp I used was fully cooked. If you use raw, start it in the skillet first. Stir fry for 2 min, then add peapods.) Cook for just a minute.
2. Add remaining ingredients through the cilantro. Cook for just a minute more -- you want it warm, but still nice and crunchy.
3. In a saucepan (Or microwaveable bowl) heat broth with ginger and splenda until piping hot.
4. To serve -- split the shrimp and veggies 3 ways into bowls. Ladle the broth over. If desired, garnish with chopped peanuts and/or red pepper flakes. Enjoy!!
If you have non-low carbers in your family, you may add noodles to their bowl before topping with broth. You may also want to experiment with "Shirataki" or spiralized butternut squash to sub for the rice noodles usually found in traditional Pad Thai.
