Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large carrot, julienned

Instructions
Place the shrimp in a bowl and toss with the cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.
In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot to the pan. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Add the garlic and ginger to the vegetables, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet, stirring to coat. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing to combine and heat through for another minute.
Serve the stir-fry immediately, garnished with sliced green onions.
