1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Before you start cooking, ensure all your ingredients are washed, cut, and ready to go. This stir-fry comes together quickly, so having everything prepped in advance is crucial.

    Marinate the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Let marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

      Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

        Sauté Garlic and Ginger: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

          Cook the Vegetables: Add the broccoli florets, bell peppers, and sugar snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they are just tender but still crisp.

            Add Shrimp: Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the marinated shrimp. Stir-fry everything together for another 3-5 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

              Thicken Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with water in a small bowl and stir it into the stir-fry, cooking for an additional minute until the sauce thickens.

                Garnish and Serve: Once everything is cooked, remove from heat. Serve over cooked jasmine rice or noodles, garnishing with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
