Ingredients
Scale
1 lb fresh shrimp (peeled and deveined)
2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
1 bell pepper (any color, sliced thin)
1 medium zucchini (sliced into half-moons)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon ginger (freshly minced)
3 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
2 tablespoons olive oil (or sesame oil for additional flavor)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
Green onions (chopped, for garnish)
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Start by thoroughly washing and chopping all vegetables. Ensure the shrimp is thawed if using frozen shrimp, and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Next, add the shrimp to the skillet. Sauté for approximately 2–3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque.
Once the shrimp is nearly cooked through, toss in the broccoli, bell pepper, and zucchini. Stir-fry for another 5–7 minutes, or until tender yet crisp.
Drizzle the soy sauce over the stir fry along with red pepper flakes if you’re using them. Toss everything together and cook for an additional minute.
Remove the skillet from heat. Plate your stir fry and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
