kcalIngredients
1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cups of mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, and carrots), chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, grated
3 tablespoons of soy sauce (low-sodium if preferred)
1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooked rice or noodles for serving
Directions
- Marinate the Shrimp
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
- Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch until smooth. Then, set aside.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chopped mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and then set aside.
- Cook the Shrimp
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp as they can become rubbery.
- Combine Everything
Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the shrimp. Give the sauce a quick stir and pour it over the shrimp and vegetables in the skillet. Toss everything together until the shrimp and vegetables are coated evenly in the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Serve and Enjoy
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the flavorful shrimp stir-fry immediately over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sliced green onions or toasted sesame seeds for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy your delicious homemade meal!
