Serves 2 | One-skillet meal | Ready in ~20 minutes

Ingredients:

1/2 lb. Frozen shrimp peeled & deveined (about 20–25 medium shrimp)

▢ 2 cups  Stir-fry veggies fresh or frozen (e.g., broccoli, bell peppers, snap peas, carrots)

▢ 2 tablespoons Soy sauce

▢  2 cloves, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder) garlic

1 teaspoon sesame oil (adds flavor, but can substitute with olive oil if needed)

▢ 2 cups Pre-cooked microwaveable rice or instant rice (1 pouch or 1 cup uncooked instant rice)

Directions:

  • Prep the shrimp and veggies:If using frozen shrimp, thaw them under cold water and pat dry. If using frozen vegetables, no need to thaw — just keep them ready.
  • Cook the rice:

    If using microwaveable rice, heat it according to package instructions and set aside. If using instant rice, cook it first so it’s ready to serve.
  • Heat the skillet:

    Add the sesame oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Let it warm up until slightly shimmering.
  • Sauté the garlic:

    Add minced garlic and cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn.
  • Add the shrimp:

    Toss in the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside to avoid overcooking.
  • Cook the vegetables:

    In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Toss in the stir-fry vegetables and sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender-crisp.
  • Combine & season:

    Return the shrimp to the pan with the veggies. Pour in the soy sauce and stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1–2 more minutes to heat through.Serve:

    Spoon the stir-fry mixture over your warm rice. Optional: drizzle with extra soy sauce, sprinkle sesame seeds, or add a dash of chili flakes for heat.
