Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    If using frozen shrimp, thaw them under cold water and pat dry. Remove shells and devein if necessary.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.

Cooking

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Cook the Garlic

    Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

  5. 8

    Finish Cooking

    Allow the shrimp to cook in the sauce for an additional 1-2 minutes until fully cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.

  6. 9

    Add Green Onions
