Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp Stir-Fry:
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 cups snow peas (trimmed)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 green onions (sliced)
For the sauce:
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon honey or brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, honey, and water. Set aside.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
- Stir-Fry: Add garlic, ginger, and green onions to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds. Add snow peas and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender. Return shrimp to the pan and pour in the sauce. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the shrimp and vegetables.
- Serve: Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili oil.
- You can substitute sugar snap peas or add bell peppers for extra color and crunch.
