Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp, season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and stir-fry for 2 minutes until just pink. Remove shrimp and set aside.
Step 2: In the same wok, add 5 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 1 tsp red chili flakes; stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 8 oz trimmed snap peas and sauté for 3 minutes until tender-crisp.
Step 4: Return shrimp to the wok. Add 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1 tbsp lime juice. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until shrimp are cooked through and the sauce coats all ingredients.
Step 5: Remove from heat, garnish with 2 chopped green onions, and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
