Cajun Beef and Shrimp Stir-Fry with Zesty Veggies

Ingredients:

For the Beef and Shrimp:

1/2 lb flank steak, thinly sliced

1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tbsp Cajun seasoning

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Veggies:

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 zucchini, sliced

1 onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp rice vinegar

Let’s Make It Happen:

Marinate the Beef and Shrimp:

In a bowl, toss the beef and shrimp with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Cook the Beef:

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Shrimp:

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the beef.

Stir-Fry the Veggies:

Add the garlic, bell peppers, zucchini, and onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp.

Combine Everything:

Return the beef and shrimp to the skillet. Add the soy sauce and rice vinegar, and stir to combine. Let everything cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the flavors meld.

Serve:

Plate your Cajun Beef and Shrimp Stir-Fry and serve with steamed rice or noodles.

Tips for Extra Magic:

Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra spice!

Toss in some fresh cilantro or parsley for a fresh burst of flavor.

For a smoky flavor, try grilling the beef and shrimp before stir-frying.
