Preparation
- Mix all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl, then add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes while you prep the peas, ginger and garlic.
- Heat a wok or large sauté pan over high heat for 1 minute. Add the peanut oil and let it get hot, about 30 seconds. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds.
- Add the shrimp and all the marinade to the pan (scraping it out with a rubber spatula), along with the snow peas, soy sauce and chicken stock. Stir-fry until the shrimp turns pink, about 2 minutes.
- Add the scallions and stir-fry 1 more minute. Turn off the heat, add the sesame oil, toss to combine, and serve with steamed rice.
