1 1/2 cups broccoli florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces

1/2 red bell pepper, sliced

1 cup green beans

8 oz (250 g) shrimp, peeled and deveined

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp grated ginger

2 scallions, chopped

1 tbsp olive oil

Notes

  • Replace shrimp with tofu or plant-based protein for a vegetarian option.
  • Increase crushed red pepper flakes or add chili paste for more heat.
  • Swap in vegetables like zucchini, snap peas, or mushrooms as desired.
  • Add cashews or almonds for extra crunch.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days and reheat in a skillet for best texture.
