Asian Shrimp with Peppers and Sugar Snap Peas

Have you ever made a recipe that sounded like it should be fabulous on paper but it ended up being tasteless? That’s been my experience just about every time I’ve made stir frys. The vegetables turn out limp and lifeless and the meat has little or no taste. This time I tried something different. I’ve become a true believer in the theory of “layers of flavor”. This means to season all the different components of a dish so that the final product is more flavorful and more complex. In this instance, it added a little time to the process but it was well worth it. Marinading the shrimp for a few minutes gives the entire dish a huge boost. Also adding fresh cilantro at the end perks up flavor and pulls everything together.
