  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 cup carrots thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup water
For Garnish
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions sliced

Equipment

  • Large skillet

Method
 

  1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add broccoli, bell pepper, snap peas, and carrots. Stir fry for 4 to 5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Add garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir well. Let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened.
  7. Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until everything is heated through.
  8. Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Serve over steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal. For best texture, do not overcook the shrimp as they can become rubbery.
