Ingredients
  • 12 ounces wild jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 Tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 3 cups bean sprouts
  • 2 cups snow peas
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • Sriracha sauce (optional)
Instructions
  1. Combine soy sauce through red pepper flakes in a bowl. Add shrimp and marinate for at 1 hour. Meanwhile bring a pot of water to a boil. Add snap peas for no more than 2 minutes. Drain and place snow peas in a bowl of ice water until no longer hot. Place 1 1 /2 cups of bean sprouts on each plate. Top with half of the snap peas.
  2. To cook shrimp: in a skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add shrimp and 2 Tablespoons of the marinade and cook ~2 minutes per side or until opaque (do not overcook or they will be rubbery). Divide shrimp, along with a spoon of the sauce, evenly between 2 plates (you might have leftovers). Top with chopped green onion and cilantro. Serve with sriracha sauce.
Notes
You could make this into 3 servings by using 4 ounce portions of shrimp per person instead of 6 ounces. If so, increase the amount of bean sprouts, snow peas, green onion and cilantro used.
