Quick, Cheap, & Delicious Tilapia Stir Fry - Meal Prep Friendly

This quick, cheap, and delicious tilapia stir fry recipe is made mostly using frozen ingredients and is quite meal prep friendly. You can also replace the freshly minced garlic and sliced red chili pepper with garlic powder and red pepper flakes for a quicker prep time. You can diversify the recipe by using various choices of frozen veggies. This really is one of the tastiest recipes I have made for tilapia. This whole recipe gives me 4 portions, but you can reduce to 3 or 2 portions based upon your calorie and macro needs.

If you are concerned about the amount of butter I used in this recipe, you can use vegetable oil, coconut oil, or any other healthy cooking oil of your choice. Tilapia is a very lean fish and even with a 1.5 tbsp unsalted butter, you are still getting only around 6 g of fat per serving with this recipe.
