Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until pink and just cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.
Step 2: In the same wok, add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil. Toss in 3 thinly sliced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp julienned fresh ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 2 cups trimmed snow peas and stir-fry for 2 minutes until crisp-tender and bright green.
Step 4: Return shrimp to the wok. Pour in 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar. Stir constantly for 1 minute until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the shrimp and vegetables.
Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle 2 sliced green onions and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes (if using) on top. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
