Shrimp is a fantastic weeknight dinner food because it cooks in about 2 minutes. This dish makes use of jarred chili crisp to make this meal even easier. We love the Fly by Jing chili crisp the most, although there are many brands. Fly by Jing has Sichuan pepper in it, which makes it a bit more interesting and delicious. Check out my Favorite Items page for a link to try some for yourself. We use it on pretty much any Asian food.
The other ingredients that pack this dish with flavor are garlic, ginger, shallot and scallions. I absolutely love scallions cooked in a wok so that they get a little char on them. I can’t even tell you how delicious they are, you have to try it. There is a link of my favorites to the wok I have as well. It really improves the quality of stir fry dishes so much.
I added snow peas to this for a vegetable and they went well with the dish, but you could also use broccoli, peppers, onion, carrots, bok choy….whatever you have. I served this over rice but you could also serve over noodles or just on its own. Enjoy!
Garlic Chili Crisp Shrimp with Snow Peas
Ingredients
For the stir fry:
- 1 lb large peeled and deveined shrimp thawed if frozen
- 2 tbsp oil
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
- 1 shallot finely chopped
- 6 scallions cut into 2 inch pieces
- 2 cups snow peas or other vegetable
- rice or noodles for serving
For the sauce:
- 1 tbsp chili crisp
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
Instructions
- Mix sauce ingredients and set aside. Heat oil in wok or nonstick pan until smoking hot.
- Add the snow peas (or other veg) and scallions and stir fry briefly until they have some black spots. You still want them mostly raw so don't overcook. Set aside and reheat wok with a bit more oil.
- Add the shrimp and season with a little salt. Allow to cook until they brown a little, then stir fry them. When the shrimp is nearly cooked, add the garlic, ginger and shallot and stir fry a bit more. Add the sauce and the veggies back in and toss well.
- Serve over rice with extra chili crisp on the side.
