Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 2: Add 1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp to the wok and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque, stirring frequently.
Step 3: Toss in 2 cups trimmed snow peas and stir fry with the shrimp for 2 minutes until tender-crisp.
Step 4: Stir together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes in a small bowl, then pour the sauce over the shrimp and vegetables. Cook for another minute, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats everything.
Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving over steamed rice or noodles.
