Ingredients

  • 1 pound shrimp peeled & cleaned
  • 3 cups snap peas trimmed
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 onion sliced
  • 1 tsp soybean paste
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • black pepper

Instructions

  • Peel and de-vein shrimp.
  • Trim ends of snap peas to remove any tough parts.
  • Slice onion and garlic. Saute with olive oil on medium high.
  • While onion and garlic is softening, mix warm water with cornstarch, soy bean paste, and soy sauce to make the sauce.
  • After onion and garlic has softened, add the snap peas to the pan, stirring gently.
  • After 1 minute, pour in the sauce mixture and stir.
  • After about 2 minutes, sauce should start to bubble and thicken. Push sauce and snap peas to one side of the pan and add shrimp to the open side.
  • Stir shrimp after 1 minute to allow other shrimp to make contact with the pan.
  • After another minute, mix shrimp with snap peas and sauce.
  • Crack some fresh black pepper over top and serve with some rice!
