Servings: 4

Ingredients

Shrimp (1 pound, peeled and deveined)
Green bell pepper (1, sliced)
Red bell pepper (1, sliced)
Green onions (4, chopped (for garnish))
Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
Fresh ginger (1 tablespoon, minced)
Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
Szechuan sauce (3 tablespoons)

Instructions

In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant and golden.
Carefully add the shrimp to the skillet, cooking for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced green and red bell peppers. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes, until they are tender yet still crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the bell peppers. Pour in the soy sauce and Szechuan sauce, stirring well to evenly coat the shrimp and vegetables.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the shrimp to heat through.
Garnish the dish with chopped green onions before serving.
