How to make shrimp stir fry

  1. Prepare and cook the shrimp: Peel and devein the shrimp (or buy already peeled shrimp). Season with salt and fry in a large pan set over high heat until just cooked, 1 minute per side should be perfect. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, add the garlic and sugar snap peas and cook until the garlic is fragrant. Remove from the pan.
  2. Make the sauce and combine: Add the soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar and lime juice or vinegar and cook for a few minutes until the sauce has reduced slightly. Add the shrimp and sugar snap peas back into the pan and stir to coat in the sauce. Allow to reheat then serve as is or with rice/noodles.

Can I use frozen shrimp?

Yes you can, just be sure to thaw completely and pat dry with paper towels to absorb any excess liquid. The shrimp will brown better if they are dry before cooking.

What else can I add to this stir fry?

Any vegetables you like can be added. I like using:

  • Green beans.
  • Asparagus.
  • Broccoli.
  • Peppers.
  • Bok Choy.
  • Mange Tout / Snow peas.
