Shrimp with Snow Peas Recipe

Place shrimp in bowl; wrap ginger in paper towel and squeeze out juice over shrimp. Mix in cornstarch and ¼ tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper.

Slice onions diagonally into 1½-inch (4 cm) lengths; set aside.

In skillet or wok, bring 4 cups (1 L) salted water to boil; boil snow peas until tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain; place on warmed platter.

Meanwhile, in skillet or wok, heat 2 tbsp (30 mL) peanut oil over high heat; stir-fry green onions for 20 seconds. Add shrimp; stir-fry until pink, about 2 minutes. Stir in stock and cook until slightly thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in ½ tsp (2 mL) sesame oil; pour over snow peas.
