Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups of vibrant green peas, fresh or frozen
- 1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined for convenience
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil for a perfect sauté
- 3 garlic cloves, minced for a fragrant touch
- 1 teaspoon of ginger, freshly grated for a zesty kick
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce for that umami depth
- 1 teaspoon of sesame oil for a nutty finish
- Salt and pepper, adjusted to your preference
- Optional garnishes: scallions or sesame seeds, chopped for a burst of flavor and texture
Instructions
- Preparation is Key: Start by rinsing the green peas and drying the shrimp with a paper towel to ensure the best texture.
- Aromatics First: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok on medium-high. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté until they release their captivating aromas.
- Veggie Action: Toss in the green peas and stir-fry them. Keep it up for about 3-4 minutes until they’re brightly colored and tender to the bite.
- Shrimp’s Turn: Lay the shrimp in the pan, ensuring they have space for even cooking. Let them sizzle for 2-3 minutes on each side until they sport a pink hue and opaque look.
- Seasoning Magic: Sprinkle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the mix. Season with salt and pepper, then stir well to coat every piece.
- Final Flair: Take the pan off the heat. Taste and tweak the seasoning as you like. Serve it steaming hot, garnished if you wish with scallions or sesame seeds for extra flavor and crunch.
