Prepare the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

      Sauté Garlic: Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but not burnt.

        Cook the Shrimp: Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.

          Stir-Fry Veggies: In the same pan, add bell pepper, broccoli, snap peas, and carrot. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes, until veggies are tender-crisp.

            Combine: Return the shrimp to the pan, drizzle with soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through and coat in sauce.
