Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

      Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the oil. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.

        Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the pan and set aside.

          Stir-Fry Vegetables: In the same pan, add red bell pepper, snap peas, and broccoli. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

            Combine & Season: Return the cooked shrimp to the pan. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.

              Finish & Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve over cooked rice or noodles, if desired.
