• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)

• 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (extra virgin)
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onion (sliced thinly for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the low-sodium soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and set aside.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn opaque and pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper, and sugar snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp, stirring frequently.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables.

Step 7

Pour the prepared soy sauce mixture over the shrimp and vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the ingredients evenly.
