Ingredients

• 6 pieces raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon ginger (grated)
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 0.5 cup bell pepper (sliced)
• 0.25 cup carrot (sliced thinly)
• 1 stalk green onion (sliced, for garnish)
• 1 cup cooked rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and cornstarch until smooth. Set the sauce aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir quickly for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets, bell pepper slices, and carrot slices to the pan. Stir fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, until they are crisp-tender.

Step 6

Return the cooked shrimp to the pan with the vegetables.

Step 7

Pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and vegetables, stirring constantly to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Remove the stir fry from the heat and garnish with sliced green onions.

Step 9

Serve the shrimp stir fry immediately on its own or over a bed of cooked rice, if desired.
