Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)

1 cup snap peas

1/2 cup carrots, julienned

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, mix the honey, soy sauce, and grated ginger. Add the shrimp and let marinate for about 15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

    Prep the Veggies: Slice the bell pepper, julienne the carrots, and rinse the snap peas. Having everything ready will help you stir-fry quickly.

      Heat the Oil: 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 skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip them to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

          Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed, and toss in the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the bell pepper, snap peas, and carrots; stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

            Combine Everything: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir in the cornstarch and water mixture, allowing the sauce to thicken for an additional minute or so. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if using. Serve hot over a bed of rice or quinoa.
