    1

    Start by prepping your ingredients: rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry. Slice the bell peppers into thin strips. Mince the garlic and chop the green onions.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

    3

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but do not let it burn.

    4

    Next, add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they turn pink and opaque.

    5

    Once the shrimp is nearly cooked, add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry them together for about 2 to 3 minutes until the peppers are slightly tender yet still crisp.

    6

    Drizzle 2 tablespoons of soy sauce over the shrimp and peppers. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to combine all flavors and let it cook for an additional minute.

    7

    Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
