Follow these simple steps to whip up a delicious shrimp stir-fry in no time:

1. Heat the sesame oil:
   Begin by heating the sesame oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. The oil adds a rich, nutty flavor to the dish and serves as the perfect base for sautéing.
2. Sauté garlic and ginger:
   Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, sautéing for about 30 seconds. This step releases the aromatic flavors that form the backbone of the stir-fry.
3. Cook the shrimp:
   Toss in the shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they turn pink. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can quickly become tough.
4. Add vegetables and soy sauce:
   Introduce the mixed vegetables and soy sauce to the pan. Stir for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to become tender-crisp while absorbing the soy sauce’s savory flavor.
5. Serve and garnish:
   Serve the stir-fry over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for an added crunch and visual appeal.
