Instructions

Prepare the Sauce: Whisk together soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch in a bowl until well combined and set aside.
Cook the Shrimp: Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and set aside.
Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Add the chopped broccoli, sliced bell peppers, and snow peas. Sauté until the vegetables are blistered and tender-crisp, about 5-6 minutes.
Add Aromatics and Shrimp: Incorporate the minced garlic into the vegetables and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and stir to combine.
Finish with Sauce: Reduce heat to low. Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet and stir for about 10 seconds until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients evenly.
Garnish and Serve: Top the stir fry with sliced green onions. Serve immediately over steamed rice for a complete meal.

Notes

You can use cooked shrimp (instead of raw)—simply thaw it and cook in the skillet for a few minutes.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables such as carrots, edamame, mushrooms, or cauliflower based on your preference.
This dish can be made gluten-free by using tamari instead of soy sauce.
