Prepare this fast, flavorful shrimp stir fry with a thick, sticky teriyaki glaze in under 30 minutes for a simple weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • Cooked rice, for serving
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil for the sauce. Set aside.
  2. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Set aside.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Add the broccoli and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
  6. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the vegetables. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
  8. Whisk the cornstarch slurry again and pour it slowly into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky, about 1 minute.
  9. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together until the shrimp and vegetables are fully coated in the sticky sauce.
  10. Serve immediately over cooked rice and garnish with sesame seeds.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use low-sodium soy sauce.
  • You can substitute broccoli with snap peas or carrots.
  • Ensure the heat is medium-high to achieve a proper stir-fry texture on the vegetables.
