Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

1 cup broccoli florets

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thickening)

Cooked jasmine rice or quinoa, for serving

Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are washed, sliced, and ready to go. This makes the cooking process quick and seamless.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

      Sauté the Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

        Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the pan, stir-frying until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes.

          Add the Veggies: Toss in the sliced red bell pepper, snap peas, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp.

            Add the Sauces: Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well to evenly coat the shrimp and veggies. If you prefer a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch mixture and stir until the sauce thickens.

              Serve: Remove the stir-fry from heat and serve immediately over cooked jasmine rice or quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added flavor and presentation.

                Enjoy: Dig into your delicious and colorful shrimp and veggie stir-fry, packed with flavor and ready in just 15 minutes!
