Shrimp Stir Fry

Here’s a quick and delicious Shrimp Stir Fry recipe, perfect for a healthy and tasty weeknight meal:

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil or sesame oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

For the Stir Fry Sauce

• 3 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium if preferred)
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

1. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, water, and cornstarch if using. Set aside.
2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with a little salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, until they turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Vegetables: Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Add bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
4. Add Sauce and Shrimp: Return the shrimp to the skillet, along with the sauce. Stir everything together for about 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the shrimp and vegetables.
5. Serve: Garnish with green onions and serve hot over rice or noodles.

Tips

• For Extra Spice: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of Sriracha to the sauce.
• For Added Crunch: Toss in a handful of snow peas or water chestnuts with the vegetables.
