Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)

1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

1 medium carrot, julienned

3 green onions, chopped (white and green parts separated)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ginger, grated

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked jasmine rice, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Toss to coat, and let it marinate while you prepare the vegetables, about 15 minutes.

    Prep the Vegetables: While the shrimp is marinating, prepare all your vegetables. Slice the bell peppers, julienne the carrot, trim the snap peas, and chop the green onions (keeping the white and green parts separate).

      Heat the Pan: In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

        Cook the Shrimp: Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove them from the pan and set aside.

          Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the sliced bell peppers, snap peas, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

            Combine Ingredients: Return the shrimp to the pan with the vegetables. Pour in the sesame oil and rice vinegar, and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

              Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle with the chopped green parts of the green onions for a burst of color and flavor. Serve hot over cooked jasmine rice, if desired.
