Shrimp Snap Pea Stir Fry
According to environmental seafood watchdog companies, shrimp is the most popular seafood in the United States. In fact, most Americans eat an average of 6 pounds of shrimp a year. When looking to cook a quick but satisfying meal, I also often turn to shrimp however I’ll go for the smallest bycatch-like shrimp, knowing they are often the tastiest. In fact, knowing that shrimp are almost always frozen, I keep some in my freezer ready to be thrown into a curry or a stir-fry. Here in Houston, we have a lot of places from Airline seafood to Blue Horizon seafood to source local wild shrimp or fish.
The crunch of sugar snap peas is a good accompaniment to the sweetness of shrimp and here in this quasi curry/stir fry, you can get the best of both. These beautiful purple hulled snap peas from Animal Farm are in season so go snap some up at the farmers market this weekend. With a sharp zing of fresh minced ginger, you can eat this stir-fry on its own, or over rice or noodles.

Notes & Variations
- Full fat coconut milk is best but not essential to the recipe, it just adds a little bit of sauciness to catch the juices of the shrimp.
- You can add another quick cooking vegetable like asparagus or green beans instead of snap peas.
