Craving takeout but want a quick and easy homemade meal instead? This Garlic Shrimp Stir-Fry is sure to be a weeknight staple in your home!
On busy weeknights, stir-fry is always the answer in my house! I honestly turn to a simple stir-fry of some kind at least once a week. It’s so helpful to get a meal on the table fast—plus it usually means less clean-up, which is always a win.
Here, I chose to use broccoli, red bell pepper, red onion, and shrimp for a colorful and nourishing bowl. They’re all simmered in a savory, simple sesame-soy sauce that’s loaded with umami flavor. Serve the mixture over rice, top with chili oil, and you’ll have a delicious dinner ready in no time!
