Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Kosher salt 

1 tablespoon cornstarch

5 blood oranges

3 tablespoons rice vinegar

3 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons ketchup

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

8 ounces snow peas, trimmed 

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/3 cup dried chiles de arbol (about 24) or other small dried chiles

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon minced peeled ginger

4 scallions, cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Cooked white rice, for serving

Directions

  1. Season the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the cornstarch and toss to coat; set aside. Juice 3 blood oranges into a small bowl; add the vinegar, honey, ketchup, sesame oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and whisk to combine. Quarter the remaining 2 oranges and thinly slice; set aside.
  2. Fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the snow peas and cook until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Drain and immediately transfer to the ice bath; let sit until cool, then drain and pat dry.
  3. Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat; add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and the chiles to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Add the garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds. Add the blood orange juice mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Return the shrimp to the skillet and stir until warmed through, about 1 minute. Add the snow peas, scallions and blood orange slices; toss to combine. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve with rice.

Wow, we LOVED this! Sweet and spicy. Lots of textures and flavors. Healthy and delicious. We would make this again for sure. It was a bit too spicy for my young kiddos, but it was great for my husband and me. If I made it again for the whole family, I would probably cut the amount of chiles in half.
