Main Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 (16 ounce) package frozen stir-fry vegetables

Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Prepare Sauce Mixture: In a bowl, combine chicken stock, reduced-sodium soy sauce, cornstarch, and minced garlic. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste, mixing well until smooth.
- Cook Vegetables: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the frozen stir-fry vegetables and cook, stirring often until the vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes.
- Add Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook and stir until the shrimp start turning pink, approximately 3 minutes.

- Frozen shrimp should be thawed before cooking if time permits.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper after combining the sauce to suit your taste.
- Serve with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
- For added flavor, garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds.
