Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 200 grams snow peas, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water until fully combined. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until pink and just cooked through. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic, ginger, and optional red chili flakes. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the snow peas to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp and bright green.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and snow peas.
Stir everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the shrimp and snow peas evenly.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles if desired.
