Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. (1 minute)

02

Step

Add the garlic and ginger, stirring constantly until fragrant. (30 seconds)

03

Step

Introduce the water chestnuts, snow peas, mushrooms, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and shrimp to the pan. Stir-fry until the shrimp turn pink. (2-3 minutes)

In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, rice vinegar, fish sauce, and dry sherry. Pour this mixture into the wok with the shrimp and vegetables, stirring to combine. (1 minute)

Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
