Ingredients

• 450 grams raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 red bell pepper (sliced thin)
• 1 carrot (julienned)
• 1 cup snap peas
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water
• 3 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the low-sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the raw shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil and heat. Toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Return the cooked shrimp back to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

Step 7

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and heat through.

Step 8

Remove from heat and transfer the stir fry to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately on its own or over steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
