Ingredients

• 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 8 ounces sugar snap peas
• 3 whole garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 whole scallions (sliced for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. If they are not already peeled and deveined, do so before proceeding.

Step 2

Trim the sugar snap peas by snapping off the stem ends and removing any stringy fibers.

Step 3

In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil and sesame oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink.

Step 6

Flip the shrimp and push them to one side of the skillet. Add the sugar snap peas to the other side of the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Drizzle the soy sauce over the shrimp and sugar snap peas. Toss everything together in the skillet until evenly coated and heated through, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the shrimp and sugar snap peas to a serving dish.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds (if using) before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately as-is or over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
