- 1 Lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined (450g)
- 3 Tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 Cup Broccoli florets
- 4 Cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 3 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 1 Tsp Sesame oil
- 1 Tsp Cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (optional, for thicker sauce)
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Prep the Shrimp:Start by patting the shrimp dry with a paper towel. This helps them get a nice sear. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook the Shrimp:Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside. Sauté the Veggies:In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Toss in the bell peppers, zucchini, and broccoli. Stir fry for about 5-7 minutes until the veggies are tender but still crisp. Add Garlic and Ginger:Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Make the Sauce:In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the veggies, stirring to coat everything evenly. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens. Combine and Finish:Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing to coat with the sauce and vegetables. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through. Garnish and Serve:Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the stir fry. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
