Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2: Add 12 oz peeled and deveined large shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add 2 cups broccoli florets and 1 cup snap peas. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are bright and tender-crisp.
Step 4: Return the shrimp to the skillet and add 1 tsp lemon zest, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to taste. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through and the sauce lightly coats the ingredients.
Step 5: Garnish with 2 sliced green onions and serve immediately over rice or noodles if desired.
