Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until pink and just cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same wok, add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 cups trimmed snow peas and stir-fry for 2 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Return the shrimp to the wok along with 1/2 cup toasted cashews, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes if using. Toss everything together and cook for 1 more minute until heated through and sauce coats the ingredients.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving.
