  8. Cook briskly, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes, until the shrimp are coated in the sauce. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
  9. Remove the shrimp from the wok and set aside.
  10. Continue cooking the sauce for 1-2 minutes, or until it has reduced and thickened slightly.
  11. Return the shrimp to the wok and toss to coat with the sauce.
