Ingredients

• 500 grams shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 200 grams snow peas (trimmed)
• 1 apple (crisp variety like Fuji or Honeycrisp)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry. Set aside.

Step 2

Thinly slice the apple into half-moon shapes, leaving the skin on for extra crunch and color. Trim the ends off the snow peas if needed.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and red chili flakes (if using). Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot oil, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the snow peas and sliced apple. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, ensuring they remain crisp and bright in color.

Step 8

Return the shrimp to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the shrimp, apples, and snow peas, tossing everything to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the sauce is heated through.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.

Step 10

Serve immediately on its own or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
