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!
