Instructions
Prep and Dry the Shrimp
Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels, which is critical for getting a proper sear. Season lightly with salt and white pepper and set aside while you prepare the vegetables and aromatics.
Sear the Shrimp
Heat the wok over the highest flame until it begins to smoke, then add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook without touching for 90 seconds until pink and curled on one side, then flip and cook 30 more seconds.
Stir Fry Vegetables
Remove the shrimp and set aside. Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok and add the ginger, cooking for 30 seconds. Add the snow peas and scallions and stir fry over high heat for 2 minutes until bright and just tender-crisp.
Combine and Finish
Return the shrimp to the wok, pour in the soy sauce, and toss everything together for about 1 minute. Remove from heat and drizzle the sesame oil over the top just before serving for a nutty aromatic finish.
