Ginger Shrimp Bok Choy Stir-Fry

A fast Pacific Northwest–friendly stir-fry that leans into March produce in Washington: bok choy, mushrooms, bell pepper, and green onions. Tender shrimp get a gingery soy glaze, while crisp-tender vegetables keep the plate bright and fresh. Served over rice, it’s light, colorful, and ideal for a busy weeknight.

Instructions

  1. Peel and mince 1 tablespoon ginger and mince 2 garlic cloves. Slice 1 green bell pepper thinly. Slice 1 bunch green onions, keeping the white parts separate from the green tops. Rinse 1 pound bok choy, slice the stems into bite-size pieces, and cut the leaves into large pieces. Open 1 package of 12 ounces peeled shrimp and pat the shrimp dry very well with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 teaspoons honey, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons water until smooth. Set the sauce beside the stove.
  3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon neutral oil. When the oil shimmers, add the 12 ounces shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 1 minute per side until just pink and lightly curled. Transfer the shrimp to a plate so they do not overcook.
  4. Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon neutral oil. Add the sliced green onion whites, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Stir for 20 to 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  5. Add the 8 ounces sliced mushrooms and the sliced green bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sliced bok choy stems first and cook 2 minutes more. Add the bok choy leaves and toss until just wilted and glossy.
  6. Pour in the prepared soy sauce mixture and bring it to a simmer. Return the cooked shrimp to the pan and toss for 1 minute until the sauce lightly coats the shrimp and vegetables. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you want gentle heat.
  7. Spoon 1 cup cooked rice onto each plate or into shallow bowls. Mound the shrimp and vegetables over the rice, making sure the green bok choy leaves and red-green accents from the peppers and onions stay visible on top. Finish with the sliced green onion tops for a fresh, restaurant-style look.

Drink pairing: A chilled Sauvignon Blanc or dry Riesling works beautifully here; both handle the ginger, garlic, and savory soy glaze while keeping the shrimp tasting sweet and clean.
