Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz peeled shrimp and sauté for 2-3 minutes until pink and just cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.
Step 2: In the same pan, add 3 thinly sliced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 2 cups trimmed snow peas and 1/4 tsp salt, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until peas are tender-crisp.
Step 4: Return shrimp to the pan, then pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Toss everything together and cook for another 1 minute until heated through and sauce coats all ingredients.
