Have a taste of the sea!

Ingredients:​

• 1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or any high-heat oil like canola or peanut oil)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup snap peas or snow peas
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 carrot, sliced thinly
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional, for extra depth of flavor)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening sauce)
• 2 tablespoons water (if using cornstarch)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (for finishing)
• Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)
• Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• Red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and oyster sauce. If you want a thicker sauce, dissolve the cornstarch in the water and add it to the bowl. Set aside.
2. Cook the Shrimp:
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
   • Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
   • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.
   • Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
   • Add the sliced bell peppers, snap peas, broccoli florets, and carrots. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. Combine Everything:
   • Return the shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables.
   • Pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly.
   • If using cornstarch, the sauce should thicken in about a minute. Continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to heat through and coat the shrimp and vegetables.
5. Finish and Serve:
   • Drizzle with sesame oil and give it one final stir.
   • Serve the shrimp stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles.
   • Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes if desired.
