How to Make Lemon Scented Sugar Snap Peas
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of sugar snap peas and cook for 5 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
- Immediately drain the peas and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Once cooled, drain the peas thoroughly. Pat them dry with paper towels and place them in a zip-top plastic bag. Seal and refrigerate for at least 8 hours (or overnight).
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chilled sugar snap peas to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for another 2 minutes, or until heated through and the sauce slightly thickens.
