Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 to 2 pounds large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 green onions (thinly sliced, save some dark green for garnish)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger root or about 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen peas, steamed
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon sambal (Asian chili paste), or to taste, optional
  • hot cooked rice or Asian noodles

Instructions

  1. Sauté the shrimp and aromatics. Heat vegetable oil in heavy skillet over medium-high heat; add shrimp and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and add the green onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Cook, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes or until the shrimp is opaque and cooked through.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients. In a bowl, combine the cornstarch, sugar, salt, soy sauce, and water. Gradually add the mixture to the shrimp, along with the peas. Continue cooking over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened.
  3. Serve. Spoon the shrimp and peas over rice or noodles and garnish with extra green sliced green onion tops.
