Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), sliced

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup snap peas

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, grated

3 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium)

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1-2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce (adjust for spice preference)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

      Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp in a single layer to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink. Flip them over and cook for an additional minute. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside on a plate.

        Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

          Combine and Flavor: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and chili garlic sauce. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until everything is coated and heated through.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa.
