Cooking oil (2 tablespoons)
Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
Ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
Bell peppers (3 cups, sliced (mixed colors: red, yellow, green))
Shrimp (1 pound, peeled and deveined)
Honey (2 tablespoons)
Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
Cornstarch (1 tablespoon)
Water (2 tablespoons)
Green onions (2, chopped (for garnish))

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set this sauce aside as it will bring all the flavors together.
Heat cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant but not burnt.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened but still vibrant and crunchy.
Push the bell peppers to one side of the skillet. On the other side, add the shrimp, cooking for 2-3 minutes and flipping them until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the shrimp and bell peppers, stirring well to ensure everything is evenly coated in the delicious sauce.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and beautifully coat the shrimp and vegetables.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
