Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the 1 medium cubed eggplant and stir-fry until browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Add 1 tbsp more oil to the skillet. Add the 2 sliced bell peppers and 1 sliced onion; stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 1 lb shrimp and the cooked eggplant back to the skillet. Stir-fry until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in the 2 tbsp soy sauce and toss everything to coat. Cook for 1 minute more, until the sauce is slightly glossy. Serve hot over rice if desired.
