  • 1 cup snap peas Sweet and tender.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced The foundation of flavor.

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) Essential for that umami.

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly until fragrant. Don't let the garlic brown; it can turn bitter quickly!
  3. Add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Once done, remove the shrimp to a plate.
  4. In the same pan, introduce the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until they are bright and tender-crisp. Overcooking vegetables can lead to mushiness; aim for a tender-crisp texture!
  5. Meanwhile, cook the edamame noodles according to package directions. Drain once cooked.
  6. Return the shrimp to the pan. Add the drained noodles, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Toss thoroughly until combined.
  7. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and add a squeeze of lime juice if desired for brightness.
  8. Plate immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds for that extra visual appeal.

Notes

Best eaten fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. You can prep vegetables and shrimp a day in advance.
