  1. Whisk soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch and sesame oil with 3 tbsp water for the sauce.

  2. Pat 1 lb shrimp dry and sear in hot vegetable oil until pink and curled, 2 minutes per side; remove.

    2 minutes
  3. Add garlic and ginger to the pan and stir 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. Toss in snap peas and stir-fry 2 minutes until bright and crisp-tender.

    2 minutes
  5. Return shrimp, pour in the sauce and toss over high heat until glossy, 1 minute.

    1 minute
  6. Finish with green onion and serve immediately.

Chef's tip

Dry the shrimp thoroughly before searing: surface moisture steams the pan and prevents that quick, appetizing golden edge.

Suggested pairing

A crisp Sauvignon Blanc mirrors the fresh snap peas and sweet shrimp.
