Instructions

  3. Step 3: Toss in 8 oz trimmed snow peas, sprinkle 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, then stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until snow peas are bright green and tender-crisp and shrimp are fully cooked.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1 tbsp fresh lime juice, tossing everything to coat evenly and heat through for 1 minute.
