Ingredients
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
¼ teaspoon chili flakes
1 ½ cups sliced celery
1 cup snow peas
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Cooked rice, for serving
Sliced scallions, for serving
Directions
Heat canola oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until it shimmers and is very hot, about 1–2 minutes.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Once the oil is very hot, add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer and let them sear undisturbed for 1 minute. Stir and cook until opaque and cooked through (internal temperature 145°F), about 2–3 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes to the same skillet. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced celery and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Drizzle with rice vinegar and soy sauce, and toss everything together for about 30 seconds until well combined and heated through.
Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice and garnish with sliced scallions.
Comments
Ingredients are all available at major Charlotte chains—shrimp is a regional strength here on the coast, and soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili flakes stock at any Harris Teeter, Food Lion, or Kroger. Cost per serving runs roughly $3.50–$4.50 depending on shrimp quality and whether you buy from the freezer section or fresh counter, which is reasonable for a protein-forward weeknight. The stated ten minutes is honest if rice is already cooked, but plan fifteen to twenty minutes total if you're making rice from scratch, since the stir-fry itself takes only five to seven. It's a no-fuss family dish that doesn't require constant babysitting once ingredients are prepped, though the texture suffers if left on heat too long after cooking. Leftovers reheat adequately in the microwave or a quick skillet turn, though the celery and snow peas soften on the second day.
