In a cooking pan, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and the shrimp in one layer; cook for about 1 minute.

Flip the shrimp to the other side and cook for another minute, then remove from heat and set aside.

In the same cooking pan, add another tablespoon of cooking oil and the snow peas; stir-fry.

Add the minced garlic to the snow peas and stir-fry until the snow peas reach your desired tenderness, stopping when they are a vibrant green.

Add the shrimp back into the pan with the snow peas and stir-fry together for about 1 minute.

Add salt to taste, usually garlic salt, and mix everything together before removing from heat and serving.
