 main meals |  Better than Chinese takeout. It has lots of sweet-heat from a mixture of sugar snap peas, red onion, fresh ginger and garlic.

Ingredients
  • 2 tsp canola oil
  • 1 clove(s) garlic clove(s), minced (or more to taste)
  • 2 tsp ginger root, fresh, grated
  • 1 small red onion(s), thinly sliced
  • 2 cup(s) sugar snap peas
  • 1 pound(s) shrimp, frozen, large, thawed, drained, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup(s) canned chicken broth, divided
  • 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp unpacked brown sugar
  • 2 cup(s) cooked brown rice

Instructions
  • Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, ginger and onion; cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Add sugar snap peas; cook until crisp-tender, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Add shrimp; cook until shrimp are almost cooked through and turn pink; about 3 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup broth and cornstarch; stir well to blend. Add remaining 3/4 cup broth and soy sauce.

  • Pour broth mixture into skillet, scraping up any browned bits with a spoon; stir in red pepper flakes and sugar. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce thickens and shrimp are completely cooked, about 2 minutes. Serve over rice. Yields about 1 cup shrimp-vegetable mixture and 1/2 cup rice per serving.

Notes

 Thinly sliced broccoli or asparagus spears are also tasty in this recipe.

  • Looks yummy!!!  I wish I could cook shrimp for DH and I...but unfortunately he's allergic to shrimp...booo!  Maybe I'll have to be extra careful and make this for myself some night and make him something else!  :)

  • Kristi, I can't see why you couldn't substitute some chicken or beef for the shrimp??  It would just take a little longer to cook...give it a try :)
  • OMG that sounds amazing...!
