Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp and Sauce
- 3/4 pounds medium raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons chopped spring onions (green and white parts)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- Salt & pepper to taste
Vegetables
- 15 ounces sugar snap peas
- 6 ounces broccolini (cut into bite-size pieces)
- 1 red pepper (cut into strips)
Instructions
- Cook Rice: Prepare rice according to the package directions so it is ready to serve with the shrimp and vegetables.
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel and devein shrimp if not already done, mince garlic, chop spring onions (both green and white parts), and cut broccolini into bite-size pieces. Slice red pepper into strips.
- Heat Oil: Warm olive oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat until hot.
- Cook Shrimp: Add shrimp to the hot oil and stir constantly for about one minute until just cooked. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside to prevent overcooking.
- Cook Vegetables: Add garlic, sugar snap peas, broccolini, red pepper, and spring onions to the pan along with soy sauce and hoisin sauce. Stir frequently and cook for several minutes until vegetables reach your preferred tenderness.
- Combine and Finish: Return the cooked shrimp to the pan and mix thoroughly with the vegetables and sauce to reheat and blend flavors.
- Serve: Plate the shrimp and vegetables over the cooked rice immediately. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute broccolini with broccoli florets if unavailable.
- Adjust the cooking time of vegetables to your desired crunchiness.
- For extra heat, add a dash of chili flakes while cooking.
- This recipe can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free soy sauce and hoisin sauce alternatives.
- Use fresh shrimp for best flavor, but frozen shrimp can also be used if properly thawed.
