Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 pound snow peas or sugar snap peas, strings and stems removed
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 pound medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
2 tablespoons vegetable, peanut or canola oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
3 large garlic cloves, green shoots removed, minced
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
3 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1-inch lengths, dark green parts separated

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the snow peas or sugar snap peas. Boil 30 seconds, and transfer immediately to the ice water. Allow to cool for a few minutes, drain and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon of the corn starch, 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the rice wine or sherry, 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of the sugar. Add the shrimp, and stir together to coat.
  • Place the remaining corn starch, soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, sesame oil and sugar in another bowl. Add the stock, and stir together well. Set aside.
  • Heat a large, heavy nonstick skillet or wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates immediately upon contact. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, and turn the heat to medium. Add the ginger and garlic, and stir together for about 20 seconds, then add the red pepper and the white and light green parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for two to three minutes, until the pepper begins to soften. Stir to the side of the pan. Add the remaining oil and the shrimp. Cook, stirring, for two minutes, stir in the snow peas or snap peas, and continue to stir-fry for another two or three minutes until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Give the sauce a stir, and add it to the pan along with the dark green ends of the scallions. Stir everything together with the sauce until the shrimp and vegetables are lightly glazed.

STIR-FRIED SHRIMP WITH SNOW PEAS AND GINGER



Stir-Fried Shrimp With Snow Peas and Ginger image

In 2005, Julia Moskin wrote an excellent article about woks, the best sort for American kitchens (a 14-inch heavy-gauge carbon-steel wok with a flat bottom) and how to season it. This recipe, adapted from Grace Young's book, "The Breath of a Wok," ran alongside it. It is simple, fresh and fast. It cooks in under 5 minutes, so start your pot of rice as you clean the shrimp and chop the ginger, garlic and scallions.

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/3 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons rice wine or dry sherry
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
6 ounces snow peas, strings removed, washed and dried
1 scallion, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine 2 cups cold water and 1 tablespoon salt, stirring until salt is dissolved. Add shrimp, and let stand five minutes. Rinse shrimp under cold running water, and set to dry on paper towels. With more towels, pat shrimp dry.
  • In a bowl, combine broth, wine, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar and pepper.
  • Heat a wok over high heat. To test heat flick a few drops of water into wok. When water vaporizes within 2 seconds, wok is hot. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil around sides of wok. Add shrimp, spreading them in a single layer, so they have contact with hot metal. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or just until pink, tossing them with a wok shovel or spatula. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil, garlic and ginger, and stir-fry 5 seconds. Add snow peas and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and stir-fry 1 minute more.
  • Stir cornstarch mixture, swirl it in around sides of wok, and bring to a boil. Stir-fry just until shrimp are cooked through and sauce has thickened, about 30 seconds more. Stir in scallions, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the stir-frying process.
  • Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet is ideal for stir-frying as it allows for even heat distribution and easy tossing of the ingredients.
  • High Heat: Stir-frying requires high heat to quickly cook the ingredients and prevent them from becoming soggy. Make sure your wok or skillet is nice and hot before adding the ingredients.
  • Stir Constantly: Stirring constantly is essential in stir-frying to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly cooked and to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Add Ingredients in Stages: Don't overcrowd the pan with all the ingredients at once. Add them in stages, starting with the vegetables that take longer to cook, such as carrots or broccoli, and then adding the shrimp and softer vegetables towards the end.
  • Use a Flavorful Sauce: The sauce is what brings all the flavors together in a stir-fry. Use a store-bought or homemade sauce that has a good balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors.

Conclusion:

Gingery Stir-Fry with Shrimp and Snow Peas is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. With its vibrant colors and bold flavors, this dish is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give this recipe a try!
