1 small onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp vegetable oil

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
3. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until pink and lightly golden, then remove from the pan.
4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan.
5. Cook the onion, garlic, carrots, and red bell pepper for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often.
6. Add the cabbage and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until slightly wilted but still tender-crisp.

8. Stir everything together and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp and vegetables.
9. Top with sliced green onions and serve hot.
Notes
Do not overcook the shrimp, because they can turn rubbery very quickly once they are fully pink.
