Ingredients

Stir Fry Sauce

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp corn starch

Shrimp Stir Fry

  • 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 2 lbs raw large shrimp, tail on, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Stir Fry Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together minced garlic, grated ginger, low sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, and corn starch until smooth. Set this sauce aside for later use.
  2. Cook the Vegetables: Preheat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the sliced red bell pepper and snow peas. Stir fry the vegetables for about 3-5 minutes until they are slightly golden and tender-crisp. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.
  3. Cook the Shrimp: In the same pan, add the shrimp and cook for approximately 4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque, ensuring they are thoroughly cooked but not overdone.
  4. Combine and Finish: Return the cooked vegetables and sliced green onions to the pan with the shrimp. Pour in the prepared stir fry sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and flavors to meld.
  5. Serve: Remove the pan from the heat and serve the shrimp stir fry immediately, enjoying the fresh and savory flavors.

Notes

  • Be sure not to overcook the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
  • You can swap out shrimp for chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
  • Adjust the brown sugar according to your preferred level of sweetness.
  • Serve with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
  • Using low sodium soy sauce helps control the saltiness while maintaining flavor.
