- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
You can substitute the shrimp with chicken or tofu for a different protein option. Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables based on what you have on hand. Zucchini, carrots, or snap peas work great too. Serve this dish over cooked rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
