Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 200 grams snow peas (trimmed)
- 1 apple (crisp variety like Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry. Set aside.
Thinly slice the apple into half-moon shapes, leaving the skin on for extra crunch and color. Trim the ends off the snow peas if needed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and red chili flakes (if using). Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot oil, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the snow peas and sliced apple. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, ensuring they remain crisp and bright in color.
Return the shrimp to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the shrimp, apples, and snow peas, tossing everything to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the sauce is heated through.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately on its own or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
