Ingredients
  • 1 lb Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 cup Broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup Bell pepper (sliced)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 1 tsp Cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • For serving Cooked rice

Prepare the Shrimp

Ensure the shrimp is peeled, deveined, and patted dry. This helps with even cooking and better browning.

Mix the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes (if using). The cornstarch helps to thicken the sauce.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables

Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the broccoli florets and bell pepper, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.

Add Garlic and Shrimp

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, until pink and cooked through.

Combine and Serve

Pour the sauce over the shrimp and vegetables. Stir-fry for another minute, until the sauce has thickened. Serve immediately over cooked rice.
