Ingredients
  

  • 500 g 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 small carrot thinly sliced
  • ½ cup snap peas
  • 3 green onions sliced
For the Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Make the sauce: Whisk together tamari, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, and black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Cook the shrimp: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Stir-fry the vegetables: Add the remaining oil to the pan. Add broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.
  4. Add aromatics: Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  5. Combine: Return the shrimp to the pan and pour in the sauce. Toss everything together and cook for 1–2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp and vegetables.
  6. Finish: Stir in the green onions and remove from the heat.
  7. Serve: Serve hot over steamed rice or gluten-free noodles.

Notes

Cook the shrimp quickly over high heat to keep them tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned.
