Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium red bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 medium carrot (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 green onions (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water, then set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or 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 broccoli, red bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the mixture, stirring everything together to evenly coat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
