Description
A quick and flavorful stir fry featuring tender shrimp, crisp cabbage, and colorful bell peppers in a savory sesame-soy glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cups cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Slice the cabbage, bell peppers, and onion into even pieces. Mince the garlic and slice green onions for garnish.
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and sesame oil. Taste and adjust as needed.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and sliced onion and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until they turn pink and are cooked through, about 3–5 minutes. Push shrimp to the side, then add the shredded cabbage and bell peppers. Stir-fry until the cabbage wilts slightly but still has some bite, about 2–4 minutes more.
- Pour the soy-sesame mixture over everything, toss to coat, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for color and fresh flavor.
Notes
Serve over steamed rice, cauliflower rice, or as a filling for lettuce wraps. Add lime wedges or toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor.
