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.

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.
