6 garlic cloves, minced

¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari

2 tablespoons light brown sugar

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1 tablespoon chili sauce, such as sambal oelek

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Whisk oil mixture

In a small bowl, combine the garlic, ¼ cup of water, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, chili sauce, and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth.

Cook vegetables and shrimp

In a large skillet, add the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the bell pepper, asparagus, and snow peas. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, 3-4 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and opaque, 3-4 minutes more.
