Bring a pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, mix the sauce ingredients together and set aside: 2 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp water, 1 tbsp honey, 2 tsp sriracha, 1 tsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 tsp cornstarch, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp paprika.
Add 6 oz snow peas to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Prepare an ice bath while they’re cooking, and shock them in the ice bath once they’re done. Leave them in a colander or large sieve to dry.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp garlic and stir for about 30 seconds.
Add 12 oz peeled shrimp to the skillet, and occasionally stir for about 2 minutes or until cooked through.
Add the sauce mixture and stir for about 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
Drizzle with 1 tbsp sesame oil and stir to combine.
Sprinkle 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 tbsp scallion on top.
Enjoy with cooked snow peas and rice.
