Shrimps with Sugar Snaps

Saturday 20 March
A walk round the neighborhood says it's spring. The snow drops, first crocuses, and even a robin, proclaim it thus. The first of the tender vedge has yet to make its appearance, but a few southern snap peas (US) and affordable asparagus (Mexico) gave us green thoughts, if not a green shade.
So a basic stir fry, peas sliced on the diagonal, a pile of minced ginger, a pile of minced garlic, a mess o' shrimp. No oyster sauce or Chinese wine to hand, so careful adjustments of a dash of soy, a splash of sesame oil, and the last knob of frozen chicken stock.
