STIR-FRIED SHRIMP WITH SNOW PEAS AND GINGER



Stir-Fried Shrimp With Snow Peas and Ginger image

In 2005, Julia Moskin wrote an excellent article about woks, the best sort for American kitchens (a 14-inch heavy-gauge carbon-steel wok with a flat bottom) and how to season it. This recipe, adapted from Grace Young's book, "The Breath of a Wok," ran alongside it. It is simple, fresh and fast. It cooks in under 5 minutes, so start your pot of rice as you clean the shrimp and chop the ginger, garlic and scallions.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/3 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons rice wine or dry sherry
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
6 ounces snow peas, strings removed, washed and dried
1 scallion, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine 2 cups cold water and 1 tablespoon salt, stirring until salt is dissolved. Add shrimp, and let stand five minutes. Rinse shrimp under cold running water, and set to dry on paper towels. With more towels, pat shrimp dry.
  • In a bowl, combine broth, wine, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar and pepper.
  • Heat a wok over high heat. To test heat flick a few drops of water into wok. When water vaporizes within 2 seconds, wok is hot. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil around sides of wok. Add shrimp, spreading them in a single layer, so they have contact with hot metal. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or just until pink, tossing them with a wok shovel or spatula. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil, garlic and ginger, and stir-fry 5 seconds. Add snow peas and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and stir-fry 1 minute more.

SHRIMP WITH SNOW PEAS

Provided by Susan Bishop-Sauter

Categories     Ginger     Shellfish     Vegetable     Stir-Fry     Quick & Easy     Shrimp     Pea     Summer     Bon Appétit     Massachusetts

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 egg white
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, butterflied
1 tablespoon catsup
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
24 snow peas, strings removed
2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Combine egg white, 1 tablespoon cornstarch and wine in medium bowl. Add shrimp and stir to coat. Let stand 30 minutes. Combine catsup, soy sauce and sugar in small bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in wok or heavy large skillet over high heat. Add onion, garlic and ginger and stir-fry until onion and garlic begin to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir shrimp; add and stir-fry until shrimp are just opaque, about 2 minutes. Add dissolved cornstarch and stir until sauce thickens.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp should be firm and have a slightly briny smell. Avoid shrimp that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
  • Clean the shrimp properly. Before cooking, remove the heads, tails, and shells from the shrimp. You can also devein the shrimp by making a shallow cut along the back of each shrimp and removing the dark vein.
  • Marinate the shrimp in a flavorful mixture. Marinating the shrimp before cooking helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or you can try a more complex marinade with ingredients like soy sauce, ginger, and honey.
  • Cook the shrimp quickly over high heat. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to cook it over high heat for a short amount of time. This will help to prevent the shrimp from becoming tough and rubbery.
  • Add the snow peas and red peppers towards the end of cooking. Snow peas and red peppers cook quickly, so it's best to add them to the stir-fry towards the end of cooking. This will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked and mushy.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried shrimp with snow peas and red peppers is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The shrimp is tender and juicy, the snow peas are crisp and tender, and the red peppers add a touch of sweetness and spice. This dish is also a good source of protein and vegetables, making it a healthy and satisfying meal.
