Ingredients

4 servings

For the stir-fry

1 ½ lb large shrimp (21–25 count), peeled and deveined, tails on or off
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp cornstarch
Chef's tip
For thickening, use about 1 1/3 times as much tapioca starch, stirred into a spoonful of cold water first; take the pan off the heat soon after it thickens.
3 tbsp neutral oil (such as avocado oil or canola oil), divided
Chef's tip
Avocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap.
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 scallions, white and light green parts thinly sliced, dark green tops reserved for garnish
1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
