  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch, or as desired
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 10 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 10 whole black peppercorns
  • 2 onions, sliced
  • 2 (6 ounce) packages frozen sugar snap peas, thawed
  • 12 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

Instructions
1
Combine lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat. The mixture will thicken to the desired consistency, taking anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes.
2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Introduce garlic, jalapeno peppers, and peppercorns into the pan; stir constantly until they release their fragrance, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Add the remaining olive oil, along with onions, snap peas, cherry tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Continue stirring until the peppers become tender, around 8 minutes.
3
Add shrimp, cilantro, and mint to the pan; stir constantly until the shrimp turn pink on the outside and become opaque in the center, roughly 2 to 3 minutes.
4
Transfer the shrimp mixture to a serving platter and accompany it with rice and bean sprouts. Drizzle the prepared sauce over the top of the dish.
