Ingredients

  • White rice cooked according to instructions , keep warm
  • 12 oz . 21- 30 sized shrimp , de-veined, tails removed
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup red onion, coarsely chopped
  • 12 oz. fresh snap peas, stems removed and rinsed, or frozen
  • chopped peanuts, optional
  • chopped green onion for garnish, optional

Sauce

  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 tsp corn starch

Instructions

  • Cook rice, if using, and keep warm.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil, garlic, ginger and pepper flakes on medium high heat, 30 seconds.
  • Add bell pepper, onion and snap peas and stir to coat with oil. Cook, stirring occasionally until the veggies are slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp and stir or toss until the shrimp is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. The shrimp will be totally pink when done.
  • While the vegetables are cooking, mix the sauce ingredients in a sauce pan on medium heat and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove the shrimp skillet from the heat and pour 1/2 of the sauce on the shrimp and vegetables and stir to coat, reserving the remainder for plated dishes.
  • Serve the shrimp over a bed of rice, and top with chopped peanuts, and green onion.
  • Add additional sauce if desired.
