Sesame Ginger Shrimp & Veggies Recipe:
In a hot Saute Pan add 1 tbsp Canola Oil, heat and add 1/2 White Onion and saute 1-2 minutes.  Add 1 Red Bell Pepper, cut into bite sized pieces, 1 Zucchini, chopped, 1 cup of chopped Carrots and 1/2 sliced Red Onion.  Saute on high heat and allow Vegetables to brown.  Then add 1 cup Sweet Green Peas (I used frozen/ thawed Peas) and lower heat and cover.

Meanwhile in a separate bowl mix 1 tbsp of each:  Sesame Oil, Cornstarch and Brown Sugar.  Mix thoroughly, then add 1 tsp crushed Garlic, 1 tsp minced Ginger and Red Pepper Flake to taste.  Lastly add in 1/2 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce & 1/2 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth.  Mix everything together and then add to Veggies in Pan.

Bring to a boil, slightly reduce liquid and add Shrimp, lower heat and cover and simmer until Shrimp are cooked through.  Serve with toppings: Cashews, Scallions, and/ or Cilantro.  We had all three so we used them all - Yum!
