Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 1 minute.
Step 2: Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3: Add 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet in a single layer, cook without stirring for 2 minutes until pink underneath.
Step 4: Flip the shrimp and add 2 cups trimmed snow peas, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Stir-fry together for 2-3 minutes until shrimp are opaque and snow peas are crisp-tender.
