Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by prepping all your ingredients: thinly slice the red onion and red pepper, julienne the carrot, and mince the garlic. Grate the ginger root and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of peanut oil.
- Add the thinly sliced red onion to the skillet and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until it starts to soften.
- Add the julienned carrot and thinly sliced red pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to become tender but still crisp.
- Add the Chinese peas (snow peas) and continue to stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, mix together the honey and lemon juice until well combined.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet.
- Pour the honey-lemon mixture over the shrimp and vegetables. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the ingredients well.
- Remove from heat and serve the honey-ginger shrimp stir-fry hot, either on its own or over steamed rice or noodles.
Tips:
- Ensure the shrimp are deveined and peeled before cooking for the best texture and flavor.
- Cut all vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Use high heat for stir-frying to keep the vegetables crisp and to cook the shrimp quickly without overcooking them.
- Prepare all your ingredients and have them ready before you start cooking, as stir-frying is a fast process.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (a mixture of cornstarch and water) towards the end of cooking to thicken the sauce.
- Serve immediately after cooking to retain the freshness and crunch of the vegetables.
With its delightful combination of flavors and textures, honey-ginger shrimp stir-fry is sure to become a favorite in your household. Serve it over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal that’s both satisfying and nutritious. Enjoy the harmony of sweet, tangy, and savory notes in every bite!
