Ingredients

• 1 pound raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium red bell pepper (sliced)
• 2 medium carrots (thinly sliced)
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 stalks green onions (sliced)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 0 salt (to taste)
• 0 black pepper (to taste)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Mix until smooth and set the sauce aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and carrots to the skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Toss everything together to coat evenly, and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 8

Serve the shrimp stir fry immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
