Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp with soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Marinate for about 15 minutes.

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until shrimp turn pink and opaque.
