I love all things quick and easy, especially when it comes to making supper after work. This Asian-inspired Low FODMAP Shrimp and Green Beans only requires a handful of ingredients is simple and scrumptious. It is truly one of my favorite go-to meals after a crazy day!

Low Fodmap Shrimp and Green Bean Stir Fry

Ingredients

To make this easy low-FODMAP stir-fry recipe, add these ingredients to your shopping list:

  • Garlic-infused olive oil - 2 tablespoons 
  • Green beans - ⅔ pound (300 grams)
  • Shrimp - 1 pound uncooked
  • Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) - 2 tablespoons
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes - ½ teaspoon
  • Kosher salt
  • For serving: Cooked rice - 4 cups

Low FODMAP Notes

In this section, I share information for ingredients that are either frequently asked about or have suggested serving sizes to remain low FODMAP. We each have unique tolerance levels and nutritional needs. Please listen to your body (and, if possible, work with a FODMAP-trained dietitian) to determine what is best for you. For more low FODMAP serving size info, please refer to the Monash FODMAP app and FODMAP Friendly website or app.

Garlic-infused oil is a popular way to add low FODMAP garlic flavor on the low FODMAP diet. My current favorite is Colavita Roasted Garlic Olive Oil (technically a garlic-flavored oil) that Monash University has confirmed to be low FODMAP. Learn more about why garlic-infused oil is okay in my Low FODMAP Garlic and Onion Substitutes post.

Green beans are low FODMAP in servings of 15 beans or 75 grams. Larger servings contain higher amounts of the FODMAP sorbitol (one of the polyols).

Soy sauce, or soya sauce, is low FODMAP in servings of 2 tablespoons or 42 grams. Soy sauce contains small amounts of wheat in levels that should be tolerated by most with IBS. If you require a gluten-free or wheat-free diet, tamari sauce is a suitable alternative.

To help prevent dishes from getting too salty, I often prefer to cook with the reduced-sodium versions. Sodium (or salt) is a mineral and does not impact FODMAP (carbohydrate) levels.

Red pepper flakes or dried chili flakes are low FODMAP in servings of up to 1 teaspoon (or 2 grams) per meal. Larger servings contain moderate to high levels of excess fructose. Please avoid if you are concerned or suspect spicy foods (capsaicin) are a non-FODMAP trigger.

Rice is generally considered a low FODMAP grain. Basmati, brown, red, and white rice have all been tested by Monash and are low FODMAP in servings up to 1 cup or 190 grams (cooked).

    Really tasty. I made some rice to go with it too. I also sprinkled the shrimp with some sesame seeds. I think next time for some added flavor, to give it a tropical flare, I’ll add some small chunks of fresh pineapple.
