Cajun Shrimp Stir-Fry

Ingredients

1 lb. large peeled, deveined raw shrimp

1 Tbsp. Cajun seasoning (such as Emeril’s)

3 Tbsp. canola oil, divided

6 oz. fresh snow peas, trimmed (about 1 cup)

2 Tbsp. finely chopped garlic (about 6 cloves)

1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh ginger

3 medium scallions, thinly sliced (white, light green, and dark green parts separated), divided

3 Tbsp. rice vinegar

1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into 4 even pieces

1 1/2 Tbsp. fish sauce

2 tsp. fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)

2 tsp. hot sauce (such as Tabasco)

1/4 cup roasted, salted peanuts, chopped

2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro leaves

Cooked white rice, for serving

Directions

Place shrimp in a large bowl. Add Cajun seasoning and 1 tablespoon of the oil; toss to coat. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add shrimp in an even layer; cook until browned on both sides but not fully cooked through, about 2 minutes total. Transfer shrimp to a large plate, and set aside.

Return skillet to medium; add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add snow peas, garlic, ginger, and white and light green parts of scallions; cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic and ginger are fragrant and snow peas are just tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Add vinegar, and cook, stirring constantly, until almost fully reduced, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low, and add butter, fish sauce, lime juice, and hot sauce, stirring until butter melts. Add shrimp; stir until coated in sauce and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; top with peanuts, cilantro, and dark green parts of scallions. Serve over rice.
