Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb. raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
Vegetables
- 1 head broccoli, chopped
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 2 cups snow peas
Sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Aromatics & Garnish
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- Green onion, sliced for garnish
Cooking Oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: Whisk together soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch in a bowl until well combined and set aside.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Add the chopped broccoli, sliced bell peppers, and snow peas. Sauté until the vegetables are blistered and tender-crisp, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add Aromatics and Shrimp: Incorporate the minced garlic into the vegetables and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and stir to combine.
- Finish with Sauce: Reduce heat to low. Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet and stir for about 10 seconds until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients evenly.
- Garnish and Serve: Top the stir fry with sliced green onions. Serve immediately over steamed rice for a complete meal.
Notes
- Ensure shrimp are peeled and deveined for best texture and taste.
- Cook shrimp just until pink to avoid toughness.
- Stir-fry vegetables until tender-crisp to maintain vibrant color and nutrients.
- Use cornstarch mixed with sauce to achieve a glossy, thickened coating.
- Serve with steamed rice or noodles to complement the stir fry.
