3. Cook the Vegetables:

   • Add the snow peas and cook for another 1–2 minutes until bright green but still crisp.

4. Cook the Shrimp:

   • While the broth simmers, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

   • Add a drizzle of olive oil and sear the seasoned shrimp for 1–2 minutes per side until just opaque and cooked through.

5. Assemble and Serve:

   • Ladle the broth and vegetables into bowls.

   • Top with the seared shrimp.

   • Garnish with scallions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
