Step 1
In a large bowl, toss shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and five-spice powder. Heat a large wok or skillet over high. Add oil and ginger and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add shrimp, scallions, and snow peas and cook, stirring constantly, until shrimp are opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with rice.
This is an absolutely foolproof recipe! It comes out delicious in a flash of time. The allspice is an innovative taste. I've been doing most of the recipes that Sarah is showing and so far everything has been perfectly coherent, easy to follow and the results are wonderfully good.
