Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium red bell pepper (sliced)
- 2 medium carrots (thinly sliced)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- salt (to taste)
- black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Mix until smooth and set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and carrots to the skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Toss everything together to coat evenly, and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve the shrimp stir fry immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
