Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the bell pepper, julienne the carrot, and slice the green onions. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, Hunan chili sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Stir well until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  2. 5

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 6

    Stir-Fry the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the garlic, ginger, bell pepper, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  4. 7

    Combine Everything

    Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

  5. 8

    Finish Cooking

    Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the shrimp and vegetables.

  6. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle with sliced green onions, and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
