Ingredients

2 tablespoon avocado oil
1 red bell pepper sliced
3 cups broccoli chopped small
1 small bag snap peas
1 lb raw shrimp peeled and deveined

Sauce:

⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoon honey
4 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger or 1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder or cornstarch

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat.
Add chopped veggies and cook 6-8 minutes or until softened.
Meanwhile, make sauce by whisking together all sauce ingredients.
Add in shrimp to skillet and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 2 minutes or until shrimp have just turned pink.
Pour sauce into shrimp and veggies and cook for 4 more minutes or until sauce has thickened and coated everything.
Serve with rice.

Notes

Use Low Sodium Soy Sauce: It makes a big difference! Regular soy sauce will overpower all those other delicious flavors in the sauce, so be sure to grab the low sodium version when you're at the store.
Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Add them to the skillet and cook just until they turn pink — about 2 minutes. They'll continue cooking once the sauce goes in, so pull them off the heat a little before you think they're done.
Make It Your Own: This stir fry is incredibly versatile! Feel free to swap in whatever veggies you have on hand — mushrooms, carrots, yellow onion, and corn are all amazing additions that work beautifully in this dish.
