Drain the peas and plunge into the ice water to cool.
4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5
Add the shallot and cook until soft, about 2 minutes.
6
Add the walnuts, dates and cayenne and cook until the nuts are slightly toasted, about 1 more minute.
7
Drain the peas, shaking off the excess water, then add to the skillet (if using frozen peas, add them here).

Add 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
