Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 cups snow peas (trimmed)
- 1 tablespoon ginger (fresh, grated)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 green onions (sliced, for garnish)

Instructions
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, cornstarch, chicken or vegetable broth, and honey. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, followed by the ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the snow peas to the skillet and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and pour in the soy sauce mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry and toss to combine.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
