Pepper and Shrimp Skillet Stir-Fry balances sweet, salty, and gently spicy notes, with crisp-tender bell peppers and snappy snow peas complementing juicy shrimp. A glossy soy-vinegar sauce lightly coats each bite, offering warmth from crushed red pepper and aromatic hints of garlic. Ideal for a quick weeknight dinner, it pairs beautifully with steamed rice or rice noodles.

1

In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper; set aside.
2

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add red pepper, yellow pepper, red onion, snow peas, and green onion, and sauté until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl.
3

Reduce the heat to medium-high and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Cook the shrimp for 2 minutes, flipping halfway through. Return the vegetables to the wok. Stir the sauce and pour it over the shrimp and vegetables; stir constantly until the sauce comes to a simmer and thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes.
