Ingredients

Stir Fry Sauce

Stir Fry

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 large red bell pepper sliced into strips
  • ½ medium red onion sliced into strips
  • 6 oz. snow peas
  • 1 cup matchstick carrots
  • 2 large garlic cloves sliced
  • 1 lb. raw large/jumbo shrimp deveined and tails removed

Instructions

  • Place all of the ingredients for the stir fry sauce into a mason jar and cover. 
  • Shake the mason jar until the corn starch dissolves and all the ingredients are combined. Set aside. 
  • Heat a large skillet with tall sides or a wok over medium/high heat. Add the olive oil and sesame oil to the pan. 
  • When the oil is fragrant, add the bell pepper, red onion, snow peas, and carrots to the pan. Sauté the vegetables for 2-3 minutes constantly stirring the vegetables the whole time. 
  • Next, add the garlic slices and shrimp to the pan and stir the shrimp and garlic in with the vegetables and cook over medium/high heat for an additional 1 minute (don’t forget to keep stirring the ingredients around while they cook). 
  • Finally, shake up the stir fry sauce one last time to be sure the corn starch hasn’t settled at the bottom. 
  • Pour the stirfry sauce over the vegetables and shrimp. Stir everything together so they are coated in stir fry sauce.
  • Let the vegetables cook in the stir fry sauce for an additional 2 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  • Remove from heat and serve over rice. 

Tips & Notes

  • This is a savory stir fry sauce. If you like a sweeter stir fry sauce, feel free to add 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite sweetener such as maple syrup or brown sugar.
