Shrimp stir-fry with mixed vegetables is a quick and healthy dish made with tender shrimp, crisp vegetables, and a flavorful sauce. It’s perfect for busy weeknights and easy to customize with your favorite ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas or snow peas
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated or minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. Pat shrimp dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining oil to the same pan. Sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, zucchini, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 4–6 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Return shrimp to the pan and pour in the sauce. Toss everything together and cook for another 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
  7. Serve over rice or noodles and garnish with sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked or frozen vegetables to save time.
  • Don’t overcook the shrimp—remove them as soon as they turn pink.
  • Add chili flakes or sriracha for a spicier version.
  • Swap shrimp for chicken, tofu, or beef if preferred.
  • For a low-carb option, serve with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.
