Instructions for the Stir Fry Shrimp with Mixed Vegetables:

Put the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, honey, ginger, chopped garlic, cornstarch and crushed red pepper flakes into a saucepan and mix. Heat over medium heat, and stir often. The sauce should thicken in a few minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the mixed frozen vegetables and sautee until tender. Remove the teriyaki sauce from the heat when it’s thickened.

Place the cooked vegetables aside in a covered bowl, and then heat more olive oil in the pan. Peel the shrimp if needed, and then sautee them in the oil until just pink.

Add the vegetables back into the wok, and then add the homemade teriyaki sauce. Heat everything through, serve over rice or noodles and enjoy this simple shrimp with mixed vegetables recipe!

Cooking Tips:

Using a large skillet or wok allows the ingredients to cook evenly and quickly.
For a healthy stir fry, choose oils with a high smoke point like avocado oil or sesame oil.
Shrimp lovers, remember to not overcook your shrimp. They cook in very little time!
Feel free to customize your vegetable stir-fry recipe with whatever you have on hand. Snap peas, bell peppers, and zucchini noodles are great ways to add variety.
