How to Make Stir Fried Shrimp Chinese Style

  1. Marinate 1 pound of shrimp (in shells) for 15 minutes in 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sherry, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger.
  2. Drain the shrimp, reserving the marinade.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the marinated shrimp and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil.
  6. Toss gently to combine and cook for another minute until the onions are slightly wilted.
  7. Serve immediately while hot, encouraging guests to peel and enjoy the shrimp directly from the pan!
