Ingredients
- 300 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 200 grams sea scallops
- 100 grams broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 100 grams snap peas
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to turn opaque, then remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-5 minutes, until they start to soften but still retain their crispness.
Return the cooked seafood back to the skillet with the vegetables.
Pour the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), sesame oil, and red chili flakes over the seafood and vegetables. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the stir-fry with chopped scallions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately, enjoying the dish warm.
