SNOW PEAS WITH RED BELL PEPPERS
I like my vegetables crunchy most of the time and this dish fits the bill. It's colorful, fresh and mild, and snowpea sweet. You could double the recipe and use the extra next day in a salad.

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH SHRIMP AND SNOW PEAS
This is a lovely pasta dish with a creamy sauce. Shrimp and Snow peas complement each others flavors very well. Shortcut note: I keep pesto frozen in my freezer to make this. I put the veggies in a handheld strainer and poach them in the same pot as the pasta is cooking in.
