Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 cups snow peas, trimmed

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)

2 tablespoons sesame oil (or vegetable oil)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Cooked jasmine rice or noodles (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and half of the minced garlic and ginger. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, remaining soy sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.

      Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

        Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the minced ginger and garlic, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the snow peas and red bell pepper, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until they are vibrant and slightly tender but still crisp.

          Combine: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Pour in the honey sauce and stir well to combine. Add the cornstarch slurry, mixing thoroughly until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.

            Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot over jasmine rice or noodles.
