Prepare this fast Sticky Teriyaki Shrimp Stir Fry for a quick weeknight dinner. The sauce creates a thick, savory glaze over tender shrimp and crisp vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water (slurry)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, and rice vinegar. Set aside.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the broccoli and bell pepper. Stir fry for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly tender-crisp. Remove vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the shrimp to the hot skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until pink.
  5. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
  7. Whisk the cornstarch slurry again and pour it slowly into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky, about 1 minute.
  8. Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the shrimp and vegetables evenly with the sticky teriyaki sauce.
  9. Remove from heat, stir in the sesame oil, and serve immediately garnished with sesame seeds.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use low-sodium soy sauce.
  • You can substitute other quick-cooking vegetables like snow peas or sliced carrots.
  • Serve this dish over steamed rice or noodles to soak up the extra sauce.
