SHRIMP STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Put the shrimp in a medium bowl with 2 cups cold water and 2 tablespoons kosher salt. Stir to combine and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse the shrimp under cold running water and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. Pat the shrimp with more paper towels to thoroughly dry.
• Combine the chicken stock, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and crushed red pepper in a medium bowl. Stir until the cornstarch is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
• Heat a wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat for 2 minutes. Add the oil to the pan and swirl to coat. Carefully add the shrimp in a single layer. Allow to cook for 2 minutes, using a wooden spoon or spatula to stir-fry them. Add the garlic, ginger and scallion whites and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the snow peas and bell pepper and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the cornstarch mixture and scallion greens and stir-fry until the sauce has thickened, about 15 seconds. Immediately transfer the stir-fry to a dish. Serve with rice.

15-MINUTE SHRIMP STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Preheat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil, swirl to coat, and add shrimp. Season with salt and pepper and saute, stirring occasionally, until shrimp begins to brown on the edges and is nearly cooked through about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, swirl to coat, and add red onion. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to turn golden, about 4 minutes. Add corn, tomatoes, zucchini, and snap peas. Toss to coat, and cook until just tender, about 1-2 minutes. Do not overcook. Add shrimp back to skillet, and add lemon zest, juice, butter, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat and serve, topped with herbs and lemon wedges.
