Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shrimp, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the marinated shrimp to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set it aside.
In the same pan, add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrots. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the shrimp to the pan and add the remaining tablespoon of gluten-free soy sauce. Stir everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve the shrimp stir-fry over cooked rice and enjoy!
