Florida Gulf Shrimp and Sweet Pepper Stir Fry

I threw this together the other night, subbing chicken for the shrimp. Note, I didn’t coat the chicken, just cooked it in oil. I didn’t add salt because the soy sauce takes care of that at the end.

Ingredients

• 1 pound Florida shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 Florida bell peppers, assorted colors, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Florida honey
• 1 cup Florida orange juice
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
• Olive oil for cooking
• Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Lightly coat the shrimp with the cornstarch.
2. Preheat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
3. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the preheated sauté pan.
4. Carefully add the coated shrimp to the sauté pan and cook until almost done, about 3 minutes.
5. Remove the shrimp from the pan and add the peppers and onions. Cook the peppers for 4 minutes.
6. Add the honey, orange juice and soy sauce to the pan. Turn the heat up slightly. Bring the liquid ingredients up to a boil.
7. Turn the heat back down to medium-high and add the shrimp back to the sauté pan. The sauce should thicken and the shrimp will be cooked after 3 minutes.
8. Serve over brown rice. Garnish with sesame seeds.
