Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb peeled shrimp and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Stir-fry shrimp for 2 minutes until pink and just cooked through; remove from pan and set aside.
2. Step 2: In the same pan, add 2 cups broccoli florets and 1 cup snap peas. Stir-fry for 4 minutes until vegetables are bright green and tender-crisp.
3. Step 3: Add 4 thinly sliced garlic cloves and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes to the vegetables. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
4. Step 4: Return shrimp to the pan. Pour in 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and drizzle 1 tbsp sesame oil. Toss everything together over high heat for 1 minute until sauce coats all ingredients and is heated through.
5. Step 5: Season with remaining 1/4 tsp black pepper and adjust salt if needed. Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
