Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz peeled and deveined large shrimp and 1/4 tsp salt, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque, then remove shrimp from skillet.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add 4 cloves minced garlic and 1/2 tsp red chili flakes. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
Step 3: Add 2 cups trimmed snow peas and stir-fry for 2 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
Step 4: Return shrimp to the skillet, then add 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp fresh lime juice. Toss everything together and cook for another minute until sauce thickens slightly and coats the shrimp and vegetables.
Step 5: Remove from heat, garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving immediately.
