2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
½ cup frozen corn
2 cloves garlic, finely minced, or more to taste

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.

CHINESE FRIED RICE WITH SHRIMP AND PEAS



Chinese Fried Rice With Shrimp and Peas image

This is a more subdued version of fried rice than the spicier Thai fried rice. It's a great dish to make if you have cooked rice on hand and a great vehicle for whatever vegetables may be in your refrigerator. Feel free to add other cooked vegetables, meat or seafood.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, one pot, main course, side dish

Time 15m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and cut in 3/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon dry sherry
5 to 6 cups cooked and cooled basmati or long-grain rice
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
1/2 cup cooked fresh or thawed frozen peas
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Beat one of the eggs in a small bowl and salt lightly. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a small nonstick frying pan, and add the beaten egg. Swirl in the pan until the egg forms an even coat, like a thin pancake. When the egg is cooked through, roll up and slide onto a plate. Cut in thin strips (you can use a scissors or a knife). Set aside.
  • Heat a wok or large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water evaporates upon contact. Add the remaining oil and swirl around the pan, then add the shrimp and cook about one minute, stirring and tossing with a spatula or wok scoop until just about cooked through and pink. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the sherry, and stir everything together. When the sizzling stops, pour in the remaining beaten egg. Stir-fry until scrambled, and add the rice. Cook the rice - scooping it up, then pressing it into the pan and scooping it up again - for about two minutes. Stir in white and lighter green parts of the scallions, the peas and the soy sauce. Stir together for about half a minute, and transfer to a warm serving platter. Sprinkle the egg strips, scallion greens and cilantro over the top. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice: This will help the rice stay separated and not become mushy.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are pink and opaque.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will help you get a good sear on the shrimp and vegetables.
  • Add the ingredients in the correct order: This will help prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
  • Season the rice to taste: Add soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with green onions: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Shrimp fried rice with snow peas is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. This dish is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give shrimp fried rice with snow peas a try.
