Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 inch ginger, minced
• 2 medium bell peppers, thinly sliced
• 1.5 cups broccoli florets
• 1 large carrot, julienned
• 1 cup snow peas
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and cornstarch. Toss until the shrimp are well-coated. Let sit for 10 minutes to marinate.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until just opaque and slightly browned. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the bell peppers, broccoli florets, carrot, and snow peas to the pan. Stir-fry vegetables for 5-6 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the shrimp to the pan. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken broth. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Remove from heat, then sprinkle sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the top.

Step 8

Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles if desired.
