How to Make Sweet And Spicy Shrimp Stir Fry

  2. Set aside.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Add 1 cup of your favorite chopped vegetables (broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, etc.) and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until tender-crisp.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon sesame oil and toss to combine.
  7. Remove vegetables from wok, cover, and set aside.
