Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (sesame oil works great too)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)

1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

    Prep the Veggies: Slice the bell pepper and zucchini, and trim the snap peas. Have all your veggies ready to go, as stir-frying will be quick!

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

        Cook the Shrimp: Add the marinated shrimp to the hot pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

          Stir-Fry the Veggies: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp. You may add a splash of water if the pan gets too dry.

            Combine Everything: Add the shrimp back into the pan with the vegetables. Pour any remaining marinade over them and cook for an additional minute to heat through and thicken the sauce slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

              Serve: Serve the shrimp and vegetables over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for a delightful finish!
