Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute the snow peas with another vegetable?

Yes! Instead of snow peas, you could use snap peas, fresh steamed green beans, broccoli, or asparagus as a substitute.

How can I make this recipe spicier?

Increase spiciness by simply adding in more red pepper flakes.

Can I double the sauce recipe?

Absolutely! If you want it super saucy, double the sauce recipe.

How long should I marinate the shrimp?

Marinate the shrimp for 15-60 minutes but no longer, as shrimp can become rubbery if over-marinated.

Can I substitute honey with maple syrup

To substitute honey with maple syrup, use an equal amount of maple syrup as you would honey. Keep in mind that the sweetness level of honey is higher than maple syrup, so you may want to adjust the amount of sweetener used in the recipe accordingly.

Serving Suggestions

This dish pairs perfectly with a side of steamed rice or quinoa, and you can also add a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra flavor and crunch.
