Ingredients
- 1-1/4 lbs large shrimp peeled (tails left on) and deveined
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/3 cup plus 2 teaspoons orange juice divided
- 1 tablespoon dry sherry or Chinese rice wine
- 1/4 teaspoon sriracha or more to taste

- Whisk the remaining 1/3 cup orange juice, sherry and sriracha together in a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and stir fry just long enough for the shrimp to turn opaque on the outside, about 1 minute.
- Add the snap peas, stir fry an additional 30 seconds, then add the orange juice mixture and dried orange peel. Continue cooking just long enough for the sauce to thicken, 1/2 to 1 minute. Stir in the scallions and remove from the heat.
