15-Minute Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry

This 15-Minute Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It's packed full of flavor and can be made with just a few simple ingredients.

Growing up, my family would always have stir fry nights where we would each choose our own ingredients and throw them in a wok. It was always a fun and creative way to make dinner. This recipe is a twist on those stir fry nights, but with a garlic and shrimp twist that I absolutely love.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup snow peas
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
2. Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink.
3. Add the sliced bell peppers and snow peas to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, and water. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and vegetables and stir to coat.
5. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the vegetables are tender.
