====== Stir-Fried Shrimp w/Snow Peas & Red Bell Pepper In Hot & Sour Sauce ======
/* Description */

**Why this recipe works:** We started our stir-fried shrimp recipe by trading our wok for a large, shallow nonstick skillet. We gently parcooked a batch of shrimp (which we first marinated for better flavor and texture), removed them from the skillet, and then turned up the heat to sear the vegetables, sauté the aromatics, and finish stir-frying the shrimp with the sauce. For an assertive sauce, we whipped up a vinegar-based hot and sour sauce recipe and reduced it to a consistency that tightly adhered to the stir-fried shrimp

====== Ingredients ======
  * 2 medium garlic cloves , 1 minced or pressed through garlic press, 1 thinly sliced
  * 1 pound extra-large (21-25) shrimp , peeled, deveined, and tails removed
  * 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 
  * 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 
  * 1/2 teaspoon table salt 
  * 1 teaspoon soy sauce 
  * 3 tablespoons sugar 
  * 3 tablespoons white vinegar 
  * 1 tablespoon Asian chili-garlic sauce 
  * 1 tablespoon dry sherry or Shaoxing wine
  * 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil 
  * 1 tablespoon ketchup 
  * 2 teaspoons cornstarch 
  * 1 large shallot , sliced thin (about 1/3 cup)
  * 1/2 pound snow peas or sugar snap peas, stems snapped off and strings removed
  * 1 medium red bell pepper , seeded and cut into 3/4-inch dice

====== Directions ======
  - Combine minced garlic with shrimp, ginger, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and salt in medium bowl. Let shrimp marinate at room temperature 30 minutes.
  - Meanwhile, whisk soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, chili-garlic sauce, sherry, sesame oil, ketchup, and cornstarch in small bowl. Combine sliced garlic with shallot in second small bowl. 
  - Heat 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until just smoking. Add snow peas and bell pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables begin to brown, 1½ to 2 minutes. Transfer vegetables to medium bowl. 
  - Add remaining tablespoon oil to now-empty skillet and heat until just smoking. Add garlic-shallot mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until just beginning to brown, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring frequently, until shrimp are light pink on both sides, 1 to 1½ minutes. Whisk soy sauce mixture to recombine and add to skillet; return to high heat and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is thickened and shrimp are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Return vegetables to skillet, toss to combine, and serve.

====== Notes ======
  * A 30-minute soak in a mixture of salt, oil, and aromatics is the secret to perfectly tender, deeply flavored shrimp. The salt works its magic in two ways. First, it enters the flesh of the shrimp, helping them to retain valuable juices during cooking. Second, it forces the flavors from aromatics such as garlic and ginger into the oil. The oil in the mix distributes those flavor compounds evenly over the flesh (not just in areas in direct contact with the garlic) for shrimp that taste better than ever.
