Delicious shrimp and pepper stir-fry: an amazing ultimate 7-minute dinner option recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Add bell peppers, broccoli, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Pour sauce over vegetables and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until sauce thickens slightly (about 1 minute).
  5. Step 5: Add cooked shrimp back to the skillet and toss to coat with sauce. Cook for another minute to heat through.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or stovetop, adding a splash of water if needed to prevent dryness.
  • Serve this vibrant stir-fry over a bed of fluffy jasmine rice, or try it with egg noodles for a different texture.
  • For extra zing, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce before simmering, or a squeeze of lime juice at the end.
