Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 pounds medium raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 15 ounces sugar snap peas
  • 6 ounces broccolini
  • 2 tablespoons chopped spring onions
  • 1 whole red pepper cut into strips
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife
  • Peeler
  • Frying Pan
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. Cook rice according to package directions.
  2. Prepare the shrimp (peel and devein if not already done), chop the spring onions (I used the green and white parts), and cut the broccolini into bite-size pieces.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan or wok.
  4. When the oil is hot, add the shrimp and cook for about a minute, stirring constantly. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  5. Add the garlic, peas, broccolini, red pepper, spring onions, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables reach the tenderness you like, stirring often.
  6. Add the shrimp back in and mix everything together.
  7. Serve immediately over a bed of rice. Add salt & pepper if desired.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently to preserve the texture.
Freezing: You can freeze the cooked dish, but it’s best to do so without the rice. It can last up to two months in the freezer.
Pairing: This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed jasmine rice or quinoa for a healthy twist.
Serving Size: Don’t hesitate to double the recipe if you’re cooking for a crowd; it scales perfectly!
Herb Garnish: Consider garnishing with fresh cilantro or sesame seeds for an added layer of flavor and a pop of color.
