Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz peeled shrimp and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start turning pink but are not fully cooked. Remove shrimp and set aside.
Step 2: In the same wok, add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to burn.
Step 3: Add 1 sliced red bell pepper and 1 sliced yellow bell pepper to the wok. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the peppers are crisp-tender.
Step 4: Return the shrimp to the wok. Pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes if using. Toss everything together and stir-fry for another 2 minutes until shrimp are fully cooked and the sauce coats all ingredients.
Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions. Serve immediately over steamed jasmine rice or noodles.
