Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp (peeled and deveined)

- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tsp Cornstarch

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.
