Scale
Protein
- 1 lb. raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
Vegetables
- 1 head broccoli, chopped
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 2 cups snow peas
Garlic and Oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
Garnish
- Green onion for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: Whisk together soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.
- Cook the shrimp: Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil along with broccoli, bell peppers, and snow peas. Sauté until vegetables are blistered and tender, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add garlic and shrimp: Add the minced garlic and cooked shrimp back to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Combine with sauce: Reduce heat to low. Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet and stir for about 10 seconds or until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients evenly.
- Garnish and serve: Top with sliced green onion. Serve the stir fry over cooked rice or noodles and enjoy your flavorful meal.
Notes
- Using cooked shrimp is fine; just thaw and cook in the skillet for a few minutes.
- Feel free to swap vegetables like carrots, edamame, mushrooms, or cauliflower for variety.
