Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 8 ounces sugar snap peas
- 3 whole garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 whole scallions (sliced for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. If they are not already peeled and deveined, do so before proceeding.
Trim the sugar snap peas by snapping off the stem ends and removing any stringy fibers.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil and sesame oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink.
Flip the shrimp and push them to one side of the skillet. Add the sugar snap peas to the other side of the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp.
Drizzle the soy sauce over the shrimp and sugar snap peas. Toss everything together in the skillet until evenly coated and heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the shrimp and sugar snap peas to a serving dish.
Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds (if using) before serving.
Serve immediately as-is or over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
