Scale

- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
Seasoning and Aromatics:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Liquid:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering and fragrant.
- Drop 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon minced ginger into the hot pan, stirring quickly for exactly 45 seconds to release their aromatic oils.
- Slide 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp into the skillet, spreading them in a single layer to ensure even cooking at 375°F for precisely 2-3 minutes until they turn completely pink.
- Toss 2 cups snow peas and 1 cup sliced mushrooms into the pan, rapidly moving your spatula to prevent sticking and cook for 90 seconds.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons soy sauce across the ingredients, gently folding to coat every piece with the savory liquid.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt and fresh cracked pepper over the mixture, stirring to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Transfer the sizzling stir-fry immediately to a serving plate, ensuring you capture all the delicious pan juices.
Notes
- Choose fresh, firm shrimp for the best texture and flavor in this quick stir-fry.
- Cut mushrooms and snow peas into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking and consistent bite.
- Use a wok or large skillet to give ingredients enough space to cook quickly and develop a nice sear.
- For a gluten-free version, replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos to maintain the savory profile.
