Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Wok: Heat olive oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until it shimmers, almost smoking. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Aromatic Infusion: Add minced garlic, chopped onion, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir-fry until the onion softens and just begins to brown, releasing their fragrant oils. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Vegetable Medley: Introduce the chopped bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms. Continue stir-frying until the zucchini is tender-crisp, retaining a slight bite. (4 minutes)

04

Step

Honey-Cornstarch Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch into honey until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain. Pour the mixture over the vegetables, and simmer until the glaze thickens and coats the vegetables in a glossy sheen. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Shrimp Sensation: Gently fold in the shrimp, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Cook until they turn pink and opaque, indicating they are perfectly cooked. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Final Flourish: Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, enhancing the symphony of flavors.

07

Step

Serve immediately over steamed rice or quinoa, garnished with fresh cilantro or sesame seeds, for an elegant touch.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or rice vinegar to the honey-cornstarch glaze.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your spice preference.
If you don't have a wok, a large skillet works just as well. Ensure it's large enough to accommodate all the ingredients without overcrowding.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables like broccoli florets, snow peas, or carrots based on your preference and availability.
For a richer flavor, marinate the shrimp in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for 30 minutes before cooking.
Freshly grated ginger can be used instead of ground ginger for a more vibrant taste.

    The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, so I added a squeeze of lime juice to balance it out. Perfect!
