🔥 Instructions
Prep Your Ingredients
Have everything chopped and ready—this stir-fry comes together quickly!
Cook the Shrimp
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until pink and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Sauté the Veggies
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil. Toss in garlic, stir for 30 seconds, then add bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
Add Sauce & Shrimp
Stir in the soy sauce and honey. If you want a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch slurry now. Return the shrimp to the pan, toss everything together, and cook for 1–2 more minutes.
Serve
Serve hot over rice, noodles, or on its own. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
