Ingredients

Instructions

Pat shrimp dry and season lightly with black pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and half the minced ginger. Set sauce aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Spray with nonstick spray or add 1 tsp neutral oil. Add shrimp in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side, until just pink and curled. Remove shrimp to a plate.
Add sesame oil to the hot pan. Add white parts of green onion, garlic, remaining ginger, bell pepper, zucchini, snap peas, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until veggies are crisp-tender and vibrant.
Return shrimp to the pan along with the sauce. Toss everything together, cooking 1-2 minutes more, until shrimp are cooked through and sauce is bubbling.
Taste and add crushed red pepper or more soy sauce if desired. Remove from heat and top with green onion greens before serving.
