Instructions
Wash and pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Lightly season them with salt and ground black pepper. Set aside.
Thinly slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into strips. Mince the garlic and ginger.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water into a smooth sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and peppers. Stir well to combine, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
Remove the stir fry from the heat and transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped scallions if desired.
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal. Enjoy!
