Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional for enhanced flavor)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)

1 tablespoon green onions, finely chopped

Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold running water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season the shrimp lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper for flavor.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. This will ensure a nice sear on the shrimp.

      Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger into the hot oil. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds or until you can smell the aromatic fragrance wafting through your kitchen.

        Cook the Shrimp: Gently add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are fully cooked and have turned a lovely pink and opaque hue. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

          Stir-Fry the Veggies: In the same skillet, add a touch more oil if necessary. Toss in the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, allowing them to become crisp-tender while retaining their vibrant colors.

            Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well-coated and heated through.

              Serve Over Rice: Fluff the cooked rice gently with a fork, then create a bed of rice on each plate. Spoon the shrimp and vegetable mixture generously on top of the rice.

                Final Touch: Garnish your fabulous dish with finely chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your delicious shrimp fiesta!
