How to Make 5 Spice Shrimp
- Pat 1 pound of shrimp dry with paper towels. In a bowl, toss shrimp with 1 tablespoon five-spice powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add shrimp to the hot oil. Cook, stirring frequently, until shrimp curl and turn pink (approximately 1-2 minutes per side).
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Pour in 1/4 cup dry sherry or white wine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half and the shrimp are opaque (about 1 minute).
- Serve immediately while hot. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).
