Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)

1 cup bell peppers, sliced (red, yellow, and green)

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup snap peas

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with cornstarch until evenly coated. This will give the shrimp a nice texture when cooked.

    Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

      Cook the Shrimp: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

        Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp.

          Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the pan with vegetables, stirring well for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

            Combine Everything: Return the cooked shrimp to the pan and pour the honey-soy sauce mixture over the shrimp and vegetables. Toss everything together until well-coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately over cooked rice or quinoa.
