Stir-Fried Shrimp and Snow Peas in Orange Sauce

1 spray(s) cooking spray
4 medium scallion(s), thinly sliced
1 Tbsp ginger root, fresh, minced
1 Tbsp orange zest, finely grated
2 medium garlic clove(s), minced; or 2 1/2 tsp minced garlic
3 cup(s) snow peas
8 oz shrimp, small, peeled, deveined (about 36 to 40 per lb)
2 cup(s) bean sprouts
1/2 cup(s) orange juice, freshly squeezed recommended
2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp honey
1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
1 1/2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp toasted sesame oil

Coat a large nonstick wok or saute pan with cooking spray; heat to smoking over high heat, about 2 minutes.

Toss in scallions, ginger, orange zest and garlic. Stir and toss constantly over the heat for 30 seconds.

Add snow peas. Continue tossing until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.

Add shrimp; continue cooking, tossing all the while, until shrimp are pink and firm, about 2 minutes.

Add sprouts, orange juice, soy sauce and honey. Toss until bubbling, about 1 minute.

Meanwhile, combine cornstarch with rice vinegar in a small bowl.

Stir in cornstarch mixture; continue cooking until sauce has thickened a bit, about 30 seconds. Remove wok or pan from heat and drizzle oil over the dish. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving.
