Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 cups mixed vegetables (including bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional for an extra depth of flavor)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 cups cooked rice (choose between white or brown)

1 tablespoon green onions, finely chopped

Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: Start by rinsing the shrimp under cold running water. Once rinsed, pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. Season the shrimp on both sides with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper, ensuring an even coating.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, indicating it’s ready for cooking.

      Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger into the hot oil. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds, allowing the aromatic flavors to infuse the oil without burning.

        Cook the Shrimp: Carefully add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Cook them for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side. Watch for the color change; they are ready when they turn pink and opaque. Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

          Stir-Fry the Veggies: In the same skillet, add another small drizzle of oil if necessary, then toss in the mixed vegetables. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until the veggies are bright in color and crisp-tender.

            Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the stir-fried vegetables. Pour the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil over the mixture. Gently stir everything together and allow to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.

              Serve Over Rice: Fluff the cooked rice with a fork to separate the grains. Plate the rice as a base and generously top it with the shrimp and vegetable mixture. Garnish with finely chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an added crunch.

                Final Touch: Serve the dish immediately while hot, and enjoy your quick and delicious shrimp stir-fry packed with flavor!
