Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 cups fresh snow peas, trimmed

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced into strips

3 cloves garlic, finely minced

1-inch piece fresh ginger, finely grated

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon honey

2 tablespoons sesame oil (divided)

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)

Cooked jasmine rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: Begin by prepping all your ingredients meticulously. Ensure the shrimp are peeled and deveined, snow peas are trimmed, the red bell pepper is sliced into thin strips, and the garlic and ginger are minced and grated, respectively.

    Make the Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and the cornstarch slurry. Whisk gently until the mixture is well blended and smooth. Set aside for later use.

      Heat the Pan: In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the shrimp in a single layer. Lightly season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

        Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Next, add the sliced red bell pepper and trimmed snow peas. Stir-fry for approximately 2-3 minutes, ensuring the vegetables remain tender-crisp and vibrant.

          Combine: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture, stirring well to ensure the shrimp and veggies are evenly coated. Allow it to simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens, creating a glossy glaze.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the dish generously with the chopped green onions for a fresh finish. Serve the zesty shrimp and snow peas hot over a bed of fluffy jasmine rice or quinoa.
