Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mantis Shrimp

    Thoroughly wash the mantis shrimp under cold water. Remove the shell and any unwanted parts, leaving the meat intact.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    In a bowl, combine the mantis shrimp with sea salt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mantis Shrimp

    Heat chili oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated mantis shrimp and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are cooked through and slightly crispy on the outside.

  4. 4

    Add Flavor

    Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, cooking for an additional minute to combine the flavors.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Finely chop the scallions and sprinkle them over the cooked mantis shrimp before serving.
