This light and delicious recipe for sauteed shrimp with snow peas is a one pan meal and easy to make. So good and only around 200 calories.
Ingredients
- 1 lb raw shrimp (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tbsp white wine or cooking wine
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp Mrs. Dash seasoning
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- Cooking spray
- 2 cups fresh snow peas (I used 1 8 oz package fresh snow peas)
- 1 green onion, chopped (with green tops)
- 1 tbsp fresh minced ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
- If using frozen shrimp thaw it. Rinse the shrimp with cold water and pat it dry. Peel and de-vein the shrimp.
- Combine the wine, lemon juice, seasoning and cornstarch in a medium sized bowl. Add the shrimp to the marinade, stir to coat, and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the vegetables by mincing the ginger and garlic and chopping the green onion. Wash and dry the snow peas, then cut the tip off and remove the strings from both sides.
- Lightly spray a non-stick frying pan or wok with cooking spray. Add the shrimp, reserving the marinade for later, and saute them on medium high heat or until they are barely pink (about 2-3 minutes). Transfer the shrimp to a small plate.
- Add snow peas and the minced ginger to the pan and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the minced garlic and green onions and stir-fry for an additional 1 minute.
- Add the reserved marinade, soy sauce and the shrimp to the vegetable mixture and stir ingredients to combine. Continue cooking for about 1-2 minutes or until most of the sauce is absorbed.
- Stir in red pepper flakes if desired and drizzle mixture with the sesame oil.
- Serve immediately. Makes 3-4 servings.
