Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 cup broccoli florets

  • 1 cup snap peas

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce

  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 1 tsp cornstarch

  • 2 tbsp water

  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

  • Optional: sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish


Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  3. Add remaining oil to the pan. Toss in garlic and ginger, stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. Add bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until veggies are just tender.

  5. Return shrimp to the pan. Pour the sauce over everything and stir well to coat. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  6. Serve hot over rice or noodles, topped with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.


Notes

  • You can use frozen shrimp—just thaw completely before cooking.

  • Add chili flakes or sriracha to the sauce if you like a bit of heat.

 

  • Swap out veggies based on what you have—zucchini, carrots, or mushrooms work great too.
