Ingredients

• 450 grams California pink shrimp
• 1 whole Red bell pepper
• 1 whole Yellow bell pepper
• 1 whole Mango
• 3 whole Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
• 2 whole Scallions
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves
• 1 whole Lime
• 0 optional Cooked rice or rice noodles (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and devein the California pink shrimp, if they aren't prepped already. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Slice the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Peel the mango and dice it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger. Thinly slice the scallions and set aside for garnish.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and lime juice. If you like heat, add the red chili flakes to the sauce.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add a touch more vegetable oil if needed. Stir fry the bell peppers for 3-4 minutes, until slightly softened but still crisp.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir to coat all the ingredients evenly and cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.

Step 9

Gently fold in the diced mango and cook for 30 seconds, just to warm it slightly without making it mushy.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the stir fry with sliced scallions and chopped cilantro leaves. Serve immediately over cooked rice or rice noodles, if desired.
