Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 cup snow peas
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 pieces scallions, sliced
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
While shrimp is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut broccoli into small florets, slice the red bell pepper, julienne the carrot, and trim the snow peas.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add broccoli, red bell pepper, carrot, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Pour in the chicken broth and remaining soy sauce (2 tablespoons) into the skillet with the vegetables. Bring to a simmer.
Return the shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.
Serve hot, optionally with a side of brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
