Shrimp Stir-Fry with Vegetables Ingredients

• 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (mix of red, yellow, and green)
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup snap peas
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Cooked rice or noodles for serving

How to Make Shrimp Stir-Fry with Vegetables

• (Prep): Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry. Slice the bell peppers and prepare the broccoli and snap peas.
• (Sauté): In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
• (Cook Shrimp): Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
• (Stir-Fry Veggies): In the same skillet, add the bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
• (Combine): Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, add soy sauce, and sesame oil (if using). Toss everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
• (Serve): Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve over cooked rice or noodles and enjoy!

Cooking Tips

• Avoid overcooking the shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so make sure to remove them from the heat once they turn pink and opaque.
• Vegetable crunch: If you prefer crunchier vegetables, reduce the stir-fry time slightly.
• Add spice: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of Sriracha if you like some heat in your stir-fry.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve over white or brown rice, or swap for noodles like soba or rice noodles for a change in texture.
• Garnish with sesame seeds and a drizzle of extra soy sauce for extra flavor.

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Freezing: Not recommended, as shrimp can become rubbery when reheated from frozen.
