Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 450g large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch asparagus trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

  • Whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Set aside.

  • Add the garlic and ginger. Stir fry 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Return the shrimp to the pan, pour in the sauce, and toss everything together for 1–2 minutes until well coated and heated through.
  • Remove from heat, sprinkle with red pepper flakes, green onions, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
