1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz peeled and deveined raw shrimp in a single layer and stir-fry for 2 minutes until pink and just opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
2. Step 2: In the same wok, add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
3. Step 3: Add 1 sliced medium red bell pepper and 2 cups broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
