Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers
  • ½ cup sliced red onions
  • ½ cup sugar snap peas
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger root
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, sriracha, honey, and cornstarch until smooth. Set it aside for later use.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 5 minutes until they turn opaque and are no longer raw. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
  • Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Toss in the broccoli, bell peppers, red onions, and sugar snap peas. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp.
  • Add the garlic and ginger, and stir for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Return the shrimp to the skillet. Give the prepared sauce a quick stir and pour it over the shrimp and vegetables.
  • Cook while stirring until the sauce thickens and evenly coats everything, about 2 more minutes.
  • Remove from heat, drizzle with sesame oil, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately while it's warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Monitor the heat to retain crispness in the shrimp and vegetables.
