- 1 large Red bell pepper (sliced into thin strips)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1.5 tbsp Sriracha or chili garlic sauce
- 2 tsp Honey

- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil (for cooking)
- 1 tsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water

Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sriracha, honey, cornstarch, and water. Stir until smooth, and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until pink and fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the pan 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 green beans and red bell pepper strips to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture.
Toss everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp and vegetables evenly.
Drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fry, stirring to combine, then remove from heat.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired, and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
