Servings: 4

Ingredients

Shrimp (1 pound, peeled and deveined)
Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
Bell peppers (1 cup, sliced (red, yellow, or green))
Onion (1 medium, sliced)
Broccoli florets (2 cups)
Garlic (4 cloves, minced)
Ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
Sriracha sauce (2 tablespoons)
Honey (1 tablespoon)
Green onions (2, chopped (for garnish))
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Red chili flakes (to taste)

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, and honey to create a flavorful sauce. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and broccoli florets. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender and vibrant.
Pour the prepared sauce over the stir-fried vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and stir fry for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined and heated through.
Season with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes to taste, adjusting the spice level according to your preference.
Serve the spicy garlic shrimp stir fry over a bed of steamed rice or noodles, and garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh finish.
