Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 200 grams Snow peas
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Lightly season with salt and black pepper.
Wash and trim the ends of the snow peas. Remove any strings, if they are present.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Add the snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are tender-crisp, ensuring they maintain their bright green color.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the snow peas. Give the prepared sauce a quick stir and pour it over the shrimp and snow peas.
Stir everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the shrimp and snow peas.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or noodles.
