Notes

Prepping all ingredients before starting the stir-fry will make the cooking process smoother.
Use a non-stick wok or pan to prevent the ingredients from sticking.
Make sure the wok or pan is hot before adding the shrimp and vegetables for quick cooking.
Keep the shrimp and vegetables in bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
Do not overcrowd the wok or pan to allow proper searing and prevent steaming of the ingredients.
Stir-fry on high heat to achieve a delicious smoky flavor.
Adjust the seasoning and spice level according to personal taste preferences.
