Cover and microwave on HIGH 2 minutes.
Heat oil in large skillet over high heat. Add garlic, ginger and red pepper; cook 15 seconds. Add shrimp; cook, stirring, until opaque throughout, 2 minutes. Stir in coconut milk, salt and lime peel; cook, stirring, until hot. Add snowpeas. Garnish with lime. Serve over rice.
Makes 4 servings.
*Canned coconut milk is available in some supermarkets and in Asian markets.
