Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the garlic and red pepper flakes for about 30 seconds, or until the garlic is aromatic.
Step 2
Stir in the shrimp and chicken. Increase the heat to high. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Step 3
If using fresh snow peas, cook the chicken and shrimp for 2 more minutes before adding the peas. Cook, uncovered, for 2 minutes with the peas. If using frozen snow peas, add to the chicken and shrimp and cook, covered, for 2 minutes. Uncover and cook for 2 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
Step 4
Stir in the salt.
