Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup snap peas
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Add the bell pepper, broccoli, snap peas, and carrots to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  6. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Pour in the cornstarch slurry and stir constantly until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp and vegetables.
  7. Serve immediately over cooked rice.

Notes

  • Adjust the spice level by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Feel free to use other vegetables you enjoy, such as mushrooms, water chestnuts, or baby corn.
  • For a complete meal, add some cooked noodles instead of rice.
