  • Use a variety of vegetables. Sugar snap peas, bell peppers, and carrots are all good choices. You can also add other vegetables, such as broccoli, zucchini, or mushrooms.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what will bring all the flavors of the dish together. You can use a simple soy sauce-based sauce, or you can get more creative with a sauce that includes ginger, garlic, or other spices.
  • Cook the shrimp and vegetables quickly. Overcooking will make the shrimp tough and the vegetables mushy. Cook the shrimp and vegetables until they are just cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve the dish immediately. Shrimp and sugar snap peas are best served hot and fresh.
