Ingredients

• 12 oz large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp ginger, grated
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 unit red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 unit carrot, julienned
• 2 units green onion, sliced
• 2 cups brown rice, cooked

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, and rice vinegar.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water to make a slurry and set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are pink and opaque. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5 minutes until they are crisp-tender.

Step 6

Return the shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables, and pour in the soy sauce mixture. Stir everything to coat well.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the cornstarch slurry, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Finish by adding the sliced green onions and give everything a quick toss.

Step 9

Serve the shrimp stir fry over cooked brown rice, distributing evenly among four plates.
