Ingredients
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 small sliced shallot
1 pound 21/30 size shrimp, shelled, deveined and butterflied
1 pound snow peas, topped, tailed and de-stringed
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 tablespoons dark Chinese cooking wine
1/4 teaspoon each of salt & ground white pepper, or to taste

Directions

Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic, ginger and shallot and stir-fry until just beginning to turn color, about 15 seconds. Add shrimp, snow peas, cooking wine and oyster sauce. Continue stir-frying until shrimp are just cooked through and snow peas are crisp-tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with the ground white pepper and salt. Serve immediately along with jasmine rice.

Variations

This dish is very versatile. You can substitute the shrimps with chicken, beef or pork.  Vegetarians can omit the oyster sauce and substitute it with black bean sauce and add tofu and cashews as protein.
