Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 0.5 cup bell pepper (sliced)
- 0.25 cup carrot (sliced thinly)
- 1 stalk green onion (sliced, for garnish)
- 1 cup cooked rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and cornstarch until smooth. Set the sauce aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir quickly for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets, bell pepper slices, and carrot slices to the pan. Stir fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, until they are crisp-tender.
Return the cooked shrimp to the pan with the vegetables.
Pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and vegetables, stirring constantly to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the stir fry from the heat and garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve the shrimp stir fry immediately on its own or over a bed of cooked rice, if desired.
