Shrimp cooks fast and pairs nicely with sweet corn for a speedy stir-fry that’s ready in 20 minutes.

Steps:

  1. Sauté minced garlic and ginger in oil over high heat.
  2. Add shrimp seasoned with salt and pepper; cook until just pink, then remove.
  3. Add sliced bell pepper, snap peas, and corn kernels; stir-fry until tender-crisp.
  4. Return shrimp to the pan and toss with a sauce of soy sauce, rice vinegar, a touch of honey, and sesame oil.
  5. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.

Serving suggestions:

  • Serve over rice or noodles.
  • Add chili flakes or sriracha for heat.

This stir-fry is adaptable: swap vegetables based on season and use frozen corn to cut prep time.
