1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt
2/3 cup chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger

Add the snow peas and bell pepper and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the cornstarch mixture and scallion greens and stir-fry until the sauce has thickened, about 15 seconds.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your stir-fry will taste. Look for plump, firm shrimp and fresh, crisp vegetables.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch helps to tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet is essential for getting a good sear on the shrimp and vegetables. If your wok or skillet is not hot enough, the shrimp and vegetables will steam instead of stir-frying.
  • Stir-fry in small batches: Do not overcrowd the wok or skillet. Stir-frying in small batches helps to ensure that the shrimp and vegetables are evenly cooked.
  • Stir-fry quickly: Stir-frying is a quick cooking method, so it is important to stir-fry the shrimp and vegetables quickly. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to use a variety of vegetables in your stir-fry, such as broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and snow peas.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately, while it is still hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Shrimp stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. With a little bit of planning and preparation, you can have a delicious stir-fry on the table in less than 30 minutes.
