How to Make Adobo Style Shrimp Filipino

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, and black pepper.
  2. Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 5 minutes (longer is better, up to 30 minutes).
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the marinated shrimp to the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
  5. Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
  6. Increase the heat to high and cook the remaining marinade in the skillet, stirring frequently until the sauce has thickened slightly (about 1-2 minutes).
  7. Pour the thickened sauce over the cooked shrimp and toss to combine.
  8. Serve immediately with steamed rice. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro, if desired.
