Instructions
In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil to make the sauce.
In another small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set it aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add shrimp to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until pink and fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the wok and set aside.
In the same wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add red bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the wok. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the wok and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and garnish the stir fry with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles.
