The best part of doing it is that the measurements don't have to be exact. If you prefer, substitute dry sherry for rice wine. Serve with rice. Ingredients:

1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined |
1/3 cup chicken broth |
2 teaspoons rice wine |
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce |

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root |
2 teaspoons vegetable oil |
6 ounces snow peas, strings removed |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
