Make this quick and flavorful shrimp and snow pea dish entirely in one skillet for easy cleanup. The sauce features honey, garlic, and ginger.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound fresh snow peas, trimmed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (slurry)
  • 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish
  • Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the snow peas to the hot skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until they turn bright green and are slightly tender-crisp. Remove the snow peas from the skillet and set them aside.
  4. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the same skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  5. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until they just start to turn pink.
  6. While the shrimp cooks, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a small bowl.
  7. Pour the honey garlic sauce mixture over the shrimp in the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  8. Whisk the cornstarch slurry one more time and pour it slowly into the simmering sauce while stirring constantly. The sauce will thicken quickly.
  9. Return the cooked snow peas to the skillet. Toss everything together gently until the shrimp and snow peas are fully coated in the thick sauce. Cook for 1 minute more.
  10. Remove the skillet from the heat immediately. Garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot over cooked rice or quinoa.

Notes

  • To prevent the shrimp from becoming tough, cook them only until they are opaque and curled. Remove them from heat as soon as they are done.
  • You can substitute broccoli florets or sliced carrots for the snow peas, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
  • For a richer flavor, use low-sodium soy sauce.
