  • 8 oz sugar snap peas
  • 3/4 cup sweet yellow onion thinly sliced

  • Mix the cornstarch with 2 Tablespoons of cold water in a separate bowl until dissolved. Add the cornstarch into the sauce mixture and boil for 1-2 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Set sauce aside.
  • In your wok, or large saucepan heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil over medium high heat.
  • Add in the shrimp and generously season with salt and pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until just cooked. Set the shrimp aside.
  • Heat another teaspoon of vegetable oil in your pan and add in the bell pepper, onion, snap peas, and pineapple and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook for 3-5 minutes until everything has started to soften.
  • Then, add the shrimp back into the pan and add the sauce over the top. Cook for 1-3 minutes over medium high heat until everything is warmed through and sauced.
  • Finally make a bowl for yourself, garnish with sesame seeds, and enjoy!
