Ingredienti

1 pound peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp, 16-20 count (450g)

1 tablespoon high-heat cooking oil (like avocado, grapeseed, or canola)

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1 medium onion, thinly sliced into quarter-moons

2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

6 ounces snap peas, sliced on the diagonal (170g)

4 tablespoons fried rice sauce (recipe below)

1 tablespoon butter

Fine sea salt, as needed

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving, optional

¾ cup low-sodium soy sauce (190g)

¼ cup brown sugar (50g)

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

2 tablespoons mirin, optional

¼ teaspoon Chinese five spice, optional

1 tablespoon sambal oelek or gochujang, optional, for heat

Istruzioni

Make the sauce: Add soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sugar dissolves. If you are adding them, stir in the optional ingredients. You will have leftover sauce, see tips for storing instructions.

Prepare the shrimp: Place the shrimp in a colander and toss with ¼ teaspoon salt. Let sit for 1 minute, then rinse and pat very dry with paper towels.

Cook the shrimp: Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon each of high-heat oil and toasted sesame oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until they start to curl and turn opaque, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Cook the vegetables: If the pan is dry, add a little more oil, then add the onion to the pan with a small pinch of salt. Cook, stirring around the pan until the onion begins to soften and turn translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the snap peas and garlic, and cook for another minute.

Add the sauce: Pour in 4 tablespoons of the sauce and return the shrimp to the pan (along with any juices). Cook until the snap peas are just tender, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Finish: Turn off the heat and stir in the butter until melted. Taste, and add an extra spoonful of sauce if you’d like. Serve immediately with rice or noodles.
