Shrimp with Vegetables image

Colorful sweet pepper, zucchini and yellow summer squash team up with tender shrimp in this delightful main dish. "If you clean the shrimp and slice the vegetables the night before, it makes a quick weeknight meal," notes Beth Woodard of Jamestown, North Carolina. "It's my husband's favorite stir-fry."
