Make
- Heat up a wok over medium-high heat. Add first part of cooking oil to wok and then shrimp to heated oil. Saute until shrimp is pink on the outside, ~4 minutes. Remove from wok and set aside.
- Return wok to medium-high heat and add second part of cooking oil. Add onions to heated oil and then saute for 3 to 4 minutes, until softened.
- Next add in snap peas with garlic; saute for 1 minute.
- Add in peppers and then push all ingredients to the side, forming a donut hole in the middle. Give your stir-fry sauce a stir (to mix up any arrowroot powder that has settled to the bottom) and pour it into the hole. Wait for it to darken, bubble, and thicken (1 to 2 minutes) before adding shrimp back to the wok.
- Toss until all ingredients are coated in sauce. Finish with lemon juice and then season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Enjoy over cauliflower rice (remember to save half the cauliflower rice for tomorrow night).
