Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and cornstarch, mixing well to coat. Set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.

Add the shrimp to the pan and stir-fry until they turn pink and are just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 6

Add minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the red bell pepper, broccoli, snow peas, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and tender-crisp.

Step 8

Return the shrimp to the skillet, and pour in the prepared soy-oyster sauce mixture. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through, adjusting seasoning with salt and black pepper as desired.
