The Shrimp and Spring Pea Stir-Fry Recipe delivers bold flavors, bright veggies, and plant-based protein for a fast, fabulous dinner solution.
Ingredients
- 8 oz vegan shrimp frozen or fresh, whatever’s easiest
- 1 cup sugar snap peas ends trimmed
- 1 cup snow peas because variety is the spice of stir-fry life
- 1 red bell pepper sliced into thin strips
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free fabulousness
- 1 tbsp sesame oil for that glossy finish
- 1 tbsp minced garlic go bold or go home
- 1 tsp ginger grated (optional, but recommended if you’re feeling fancy)
- 2 green onions chopped for garnish
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar because balance is everything
- 1 tsp maple syrup or agave for a touch of sweetness
- 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water hello, sauce thickener
Instructions
- Mix soy sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, and cornstarch slurry in a small bowl. Stir like you’re on a cooking show.
- Heat sesame oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Smell that? That’s success starting.
- Add garlic and ginger to the hot oil. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, or until someone says, “What’s that amazing smell?”
- Toss in the vegan shrimp. Sear for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally so nothing sticks and burns while you answer texts.
- Add sugar snap peas, snow peas, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3 minutes until veggies look bright and Instagram-worthy.
- Pour in the sauce mixture. Stir constantly until everything is coated, glossy, and slightly thickened. About 2 minutes max.
- Sprinkle chopped green onions on top before serving. Optional: Flip your hair and act like this was no big deal.
- Serve immediately. Pair with rice, noodles, or just eat it straight from the pan—we’re not judging.
