Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables: thinly slice the red bell pepper, julienne the carrot, and set aside the broccoli florets and snap peas.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. This will help thicken the sauce.

Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are slightly curled. Remove the shrimp from the wok and set aside.

Step 5

In the same wok, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the red bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, and snap peas to the wok. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 7

Return the shrimp to the wok with the vegetables.

Step 8

Pour the gluten-free soy sauce over the mixture and stir to coat.

Step 9

Add the cornstarch and water mixture to the wok, stir gently until the sauce thickens and all ingredients are coated evenly.

Step 10

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.

Step 11

Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot with your choice of gluten-free rice or noodles.
