Thinly slice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion into similar size strips for even cooking.
Mince the garlic and keep it near the stove so you can add it quickly without burning it.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels so they sear nicely instead of steaming.
Sprinkle the shrimp with the salt and lemon pepper and toss until evenly coated.
In a small bowl whisk together the tamari, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, and cornstarch until smooth.
Add two tablespoons of water and whisk again so the sauce is thin enough to pour easily.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until very hot.
Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan in a thin layer.
Place the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about two minutes until the bottoms turn pink and opaque.
Flip the shrimp and cook one more minute, then transfer them to a plate so they do not overcook.
Return the pan to medium-high heat and add the sliced onion and bell peppers.
Cook, stirring often, for three to five minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender with some charred edges.
Add the minced garlic and cook for thirty seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly so it does not burn.
Give the sauce a quick stir, then pour it into the hot pan with the vegetables.
Cook for one to two minutes, stirring, until the sauce bubbles and slightly thickens.
Return the shrimp and any juices to the pan and toss until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with a pinch more salt or lime juice if you like extra brightness.

This colorful shrimp stir-fry makes an easy weeknight dinner that still feels special.
Serve it over brown rice, jasmine rice, or cauliflower rice to soak up every drop of the tangy sauce.
For a little heat and crunch, top each bowl with sliced green onion, toasted sesame seeds, or chili flakes.
These sides complement the meal beautifully.
Jessica Hunter, Cleveland: My family and I thought it had way to much lime juice. I suggest start out with 1 T first then add more to taste.
: Good note, Jessica. Starting with 1 tablespoon lime, then adding to taste, is a smart way to keep it balanced.
Mary Brown, Phoenix: So fresh, quick, and flavorful. Sauce is perfect
: Happy it hit the mark, Mary!
