shrimp stir fry recipe Ginger Garlic Glaze With Snap Peas
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
- Diet: General
Description
This shrimp stir fry with Ginger Garlic Glaze and snap peas is a quick and wholesome weeknight meal, offering an irresistible sweet-savory aroma. It’s an easy and healthy solution for satisfying family dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh medium-large shrimp, peeled and deveined (or frozen, thawed and patted dry)
- 2 cups crisp snap peas (or green beans)
- 2 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch, divided
- 1 Tbsp honey (maple syrup or agave are fine too)
- 1 Tbsp oil, for sautéing (e.g., vegetable, canola)
Instructions
- Prep Shrimp: Pat shrimp very dry with paper towels, then gently toss with 1 tsp of cornstarch in a medium bowl until lightly coated.
- Whisk Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, grated fresh ginger, minced fresh garlic, and honey. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
- Sauté Snap Peas: Heat a large 10-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat with 1 Tbsp of oil until shimmering. Add snap peas and briefly cook until bright green and tender-crisp, about 1-2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Cook Shrimp: Add the prepped shrimp to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, curling slightly, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Combine and Glaze: Return the sautéed snap peas to the skillet with the cooked shrimp. Pour the prepared Ginger Garlic Glaze over everything, tossing quickly to coat until the sauce thickens and clings to the ingredients, usually about 30 seconds.
Notes
This recipe is a naturally one-skillet wonder for easy cleanup. For extra speed, use pre-minced ginger and garlic from a jar. For a gluten-free dish, swap soy sauce for tamari. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze for a subtle kick. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
