This simple shrimp stir-fry cooks in a hot wok, stirring constantly, in just minutes, so get all the ingredients ready and set them near the stove for maximum focus. If you don't have a wok, just use a large nonstick frying pan. Pat the shrimp dry thoroughly to avoid dangerous splatters when you add them to the hot oil. Stir-fry them with snow peas, bell peppers, garlic, and ginger in a rich Asian sauce and serve immediately over steamed white rice.
