Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil , plus more if needed
1 pound medium shrimp , peeled and deveined
1 head broccoli florets , chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 large red bell pepper , chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 cups cremini mushrooms or white mushrooms, quartered
1 cup stir-fry sauce
3 cups cooked white rice

Instructions

Veggies: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and stir to coat in oil. Cover with a lid (it doesn't need to be a great fit) for 1-2 minutes, then stir again for a minute, alternating between covering and uncovering to stir until the vegetables are becoming tender but still stir-fry crisp (about 4-5 minutes). When finished, the vegetables will still be a bright color but glistening and the mushrooms will not have released their water.
Shrimp: Add the shrimp and stir gently but constantly for 2-4 minutes until opaque.
Sauce: Pour in the stir fry sauce. Bring to a simmer or low boil until thickened, about 4-7 minutes. Remove from heat and serve over cooked white or brown rice.
