  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the shrimp and vegetables without overcrowding them.
  • Heat your pan over high heat: This will help to sear the shrimp and vegetables and prevent them from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Add the shrimp and vegetables in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding and ensure that they cook evenly.
