Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb peeled shrimp and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until pink and just cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil to the pan. Add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 3 cloves minced garlic, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 medium thinly sliced red bell pepper and 1 cup snap peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes if using. Pour sauce into the pan and bring to a simmer.
  5. Step 5: Stir in shrimp and 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water. Cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats shrimp and vegetables.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
