Ingredients

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 4 cups cooked rice or noodles (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning until evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir for 30 seconds to release its fragrance.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning.

Step 7

Return the shrimp to the skillet and pour the soy sauce mixture over the shrimp and vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through and coat everything in the sauce.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with chopped green onions.

Step 9

Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles for a complete meal.
