Ingredients

  • Shrimp (1 lb)
  • Snow Peas (1/2 lb)
  • Peanut Oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Scallions (4)
  • Garlic (3 cloves Chopped)
  • Ground Ginger (1 tablespoon)
  • Soy Sauce (2 tsp)
  • Chicken Stock (1/4 cup)
  • Cornstarch (2 tsp)
  • Dry sherry (1 tablespoon)
  • Kosher Salt (1/2 tsp)
  • Sesame Seed Oil (2 tsp)

Instructions

Steps

  1. Marinate the shrimp: In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, dry sherry, and kosher salt. Add 1 lb shrimp and toss to coat. Allow to marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Prepare ginger and garlic: While the shrimp is marinating, chop 3 cloves garlic and prepare 1 tablespoon ground ginger.
  3. Stir-fry ginger and garlic: Heat a wok or large sauté pan over high heat for 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons peanut oil and let it heat for about 30 seconds. Stir in the ginger and garlic, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Cook shrimp and peas: Add the marinated shrimp (including all marinade), 1/2 lb snow peas, 2 tsp soy sauce, and 1/4 cup chicken stock to the pan. Stir-fry until the shrimp turns pink, approximately 2 minutes.
  5. Finish with scallions and sesame oil: Add 4 chopped scallions and stir-fry for an additional minute. Remove from heat, drizzle with 2 tsp sesame seed oil, and toss to combine. Serve hot with steamed rice.
