Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry

Ingredients

• Shrimp (1 pound, peeled and deveined)
• Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
• Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
• Garlic (4 cloves, minced)
• Ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
• Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
• Honey (1 tablespoon)
• Broccoli florets (2 cups)
• Bell peppers (1 cup, sliced (any color))
• Snap peas (1 cup)
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• Green onions (2, sliced (for garnish))
• Sesame seeds (1 tablespoon (for garnish))

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil to create a flavorful sauce. Set aside.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot.
3. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
5. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour the sauce over the shrimp and vegetables. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
6. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
8. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
9. Serve the garlic shrimp stir fry hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
