Notes
Start with plump and juicy shrimp and vibrant snow peas to create the perfect duo. Ensure the shrimp are peeled and deveined, while the snow peas are trimmed and blanched briefly for a tender-crisp texture. Stir-fry them together to preserve their freshness, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully while maintaining their individual textures.
