Directions:

  1. Whisk together the broth, oyster sauce, chile paste, and cornstarch in a small bowl.
  2. Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
  3. Add shrimp and peanuts and cook, stirring, until the shrimp are just barely cooked (2 - 3 minutes). Transfer them to a plate.
  4. Heat the sesame oil in the skillet, and saute the bell pepper until just barely tender (about 3 minutes). Then add the garlic and ginger to the skillet with the bell peppers and cook, stirring, until fragrant (about 1 minute).
