Description

This Quick and Delicious Shrimp Stir Fry Recipe is a fast, flavorful dish loaded with tender shrimp, crisp vegetables, and a savory homemade stir fry sauce. Perfect for a weeknight meal served over rice or noodles.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and the cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook 2–3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  3. Add remaining oil to the skillet. Add broccoli, bell pepper, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until just tender.
  4. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Return shrimp to the skillet. Pour in the stir fry sauce and toss everything to coat evenly. Cook 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Drizzle with sesame oil, if using. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked shrimp to save time—just heat briefly.
  • Swap in your favorite vegetables like carrots, mushrooms, or baby corn.
  • Make it spicy by adding chili flakes or sriracha to the sauce.
