Packed with proteins and vitamins, this easy and quick dish is as colorful as it is yummy. You can substitute the peppers with any other veggies.
Preparation time: 30 minutes
What you need:
1 lb (500g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined (best fresh, but if you use frozen, make sure they are drained of water and pad them dry)
2 tablespoons sesame oil (you can substitute with veggie oil)
3 large bell peppers (red, yellow, green),
4-5 green onions (green and white parts), thinly sliced
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
Salt & pepper to taste
For the sauce:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon flour (or cornstarch)
½ cup (120ml) veggie broth (low-sodium is best)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon cooking wine/sherry (optional)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ teaspoon chili powder (more if you like it spicy)
How to do it:
In a bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients.
Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in large skillet (or Wok) over medium-high heat.
Add shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes, moving them around; transfer to a plate when done (they should be rosy and curled)
Heat another tablespoon of sesame oil in the skillet at medium heat and add bell pepper. Fry for 1-2 minutes.
Add the green onions, garlic and ginger and saute 3 – 4 minutes until veggies are tender crisp.
Add the mixed sauce and let thicken while stirring constantly, about 1 minute.
Return shrimp to skillet and toss to coat with sauce.
Serve over egg noodles (see picture), white jasmine rice, or brown rice for a more earthy flavor
Enjoy!
