Ingredients

• 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large carrot, julienned
• 1 cup sugar snap peas
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 stalks green onion, sliced
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add shrimp to the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds to release their aroma.

Step 6

Add broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrot, and sugar snap peas to the pan. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the shrimp to the pan with the vegetables.

Step 8

Give the broth mixture a quick stir, then pour it into the pan. Stir everything together, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the shrimp and vegetables evenly.

Step 9

Season with black pepper and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.

Step 10

Garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds if desired before serving.
