Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

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. Serve hot, with rice.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the shrimp and sugar snap peas, the better your dish will taste. Look for shrimp that are plump and have a slight briny smell. The sugar snap peas should be bright green and crisp.
  • Clean the shrimp properly: Remove the heads, shells, and tails from the shrimp. Devein the shrimp by making a shallow cut along the back of each shrimp and removing the dark vein.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, and garlic helps to tenderize the shrimp and add flavor.
  • Cook the shrimp quickly: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, or until they are pink and opaque.
  • Use a wok: A wok is the best cookware for stir-frying. It allows you to cook the food quickly and evenly.
  • Add the vegetables last: Vegetables take longer to cook than shrimp, so add them to the wok towards the end of the cooking process.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fried shrimp and sugar snap peas is best served immediately, while the shrimp is still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Malaysian fried shrimp with sugar snap pea pods is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight meal. The shrimp is tender and flavorful, and the sugar snap peas are crisp and refreshing. This dish is also a great source of protein and vegetables.
