Stages of cooking
-
Whisk together chicken broth, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add red pepper, yellow pepper, red onion, snow peas, and green onion, and saute until vegetables are crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove vegetables to a large bowl.
-
Lower heat to medium-high and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Cook shrimp for 2 minutes, flipping over halfway through. Return vegetables to the wok. Stir sauce and pour over shrimp and vegetables; stir constantly until sauce comes to a simmer and thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes.
