Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch ginger, minced
- 2 medium bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 1.5 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 1 cup snow peas
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and cornstarch. Toss until the shrimp are well-coated. Let sit for 10 minutes to marinate.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until just opaque and slightly browned. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the bell peppers, broccoli florets, carrot, and snow peas to the pan. Stir-fry vegetables for 5-6 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Return the shrimp to the pan. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken broth. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove from heat, then sprinkle sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the top.
Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles if desired.
