Ingredients
- 20 shrimp (fresh or frozen - Thaw in warm water if it is frozen.)
- 1 lb snow peas
- 4-6 cloves garlic (finely minced)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon oil (any oil, except olive oil)
Spicy Sauce
- 3 tablespoons Sriracha chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chinese rice cooking wine (or dry sherry or white wine)
- 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (red pepper flakes)
Corn Starch Slurry (Sauce Thickener)
- 1-2 teaspoons corn starch
- 1-2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
Preparation
- If you are using frozen shrimp, soak them in cold water for 15-20 minutes until it has thawed. I personally like to keep the skin on my shrimp, but you can peel it once the shrimp has thawed. Set aside the shrimp once they are thawed.
- Wash the snow peas and cut of the tips that have a stem on it (if it isn't already removed for you). Set aside the snow peas once you are done.
Making the Spicy Sauce
- Mix the corn starch with the cold water and set aside
- Mix in the hoisin, chilli flakes, oyster sauce, and sriracha together in a small bowl until everything is combined. Then pour in the corn starch slurry from the step above into the sauce and mix everything together. Set aside
Putting it Together
- Set the stove to medium heat. Add a bit of oil into a frying pan and wait for it to get hot.
- Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add in the butter and garlic and toast it for a half a minute
- Add in the shrimp and cook it until it is pink (approximately 5 minutes)
- Add in the snow peas and cook it for 1 minute until it is vibrant green. Careful not to overcook it - we want it crisp!
- Add in the sauce and mix it around until it thickens (approximately 1-2 minutes)
- Enjoy! :)
