Prepare the broccoli by cutting it into florets.
Peel and devein the shrimp, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Marinate the Shrimp:
In a bowl, combine the shrimp with 1 tbsp soy sauce and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside for 10-15 minutes.
Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the broccoli florets and continue stir-frying for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Shrimp:
In the same skillet, add another 1 tbsp of vegetable oil.
Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tbsp of soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil.
(Optional) Dissolve 1 tbsp of cornstarch in 1/4 cup of water and add to the sauce mixture for a thicker sauce.
Combine and Serve:
Return the cooked vegetables and shrimp to the skillet.
Pour the sauce over the stir-fry and toss to coat everything evenly.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce has thickened.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
