Instructions
Prepare the sauce and ingredients
Whisk together soy sauce, cornstarch and two tablespoons of water in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside. Pat shrimp completely dry with paper towels as moisture will prevent proper browning in the pan.
Heat the wok or skillet
Heat a large wok or heavy skillet over high heat until it is very hot and just beginning to smoke. Add sesame oil and swirl to coat the surface. High heat is essential for proper stir fry texture.
Cook the shrimp
Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 90 seconds until pink on the bottom. Flip each shrimp and cook for another 60 seconds. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside on a plate.
Stir fry the vegetables
In the same pan add garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds stirring constantly. Add broccoli and bell pepper and stir fry on high heat for 3 to 4 minutes until tender-crisp with some charred edges.
Combine and finish
Return the shrimp to the pan and pour the sauce over everything. Toss well and cook for one more minute until the sauce thickens and coats all the ingredients. Serve immediately over rice or cauliflower rice.
