Here are some variations of the shrimp stir-fry recipe:

1. Vegetable Stir-Fry: Add a variety of colorful vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, and baby corn to the stir-fry along with the snow peas. This will create a vibrant and nutritious vegetable-packed shrimp stir-fry.
2. Sweet and Spicy Shrimp: Create a sweet and spicy flavor profile by adding honey or brown sugar to the marinade along with some chili flakes or Sriracha sauce. Adjust the amount of sweetness and spiciness to your taste.
3. Thai Basil Shrimp: Replace the regular basil with Thai holy basil leaves for an authentic Thai-inspired dish. Thai basil has a distinct flavor that pairs well with shrimp and gives the stir-fry a unique twist.
4. Coconut Milk Shrimp Curry: Turn the stir-fry into a creamy and comforting curry by adding coconut milk to the sauce. Simmer the shrimp and vegetables in the coconut milk and season with curry powder or curry paste for a delightful Thai-inspired coconut shrimp curry.
5. Lemon Garlic Shrimp: Infuse the stir-fry with a tangy and zesty flavor by adding fresh lemon juice and lemon zest to the marinade. This will complement the shrimp and garlic, creating a bright and refreshing dish.
6. Ginger Garlic Shrimp: Enhance the ginger and garlic flavors by adding a little grated ginger to the marinade. This will add depth to the overall taste of the dish.
7. Teriyaki Shrimp: Create an Asian-inspired teriyaki sauce by combining soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, and rice vinegar. Use this sauce to marinate the shrimp and cook with the vegetables for a sweet and savory teriyaki shrimp stir-fry.
8. Pineapple Shrimp Stir-Fry: Add pineapple chunks to the stir-fry for a tropical twist. The sweetness of pineapple complements the shrimp and adds a burst of flavor to the dish.
