- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced

- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to make the stir fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, then add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots to the skillet. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and pour the sauce over the shrimp and vegetables. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if using, before serving. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
