INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

2 tablespoon soy sauce

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro minced

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined tails left intact

2 tablespoons cooking oil divided

3 green onion chopped entirely

2 to 3 garlic cloves finely minced

2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger use microplane grater

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Set aside oyster sauce, soy sauce, and cilantro in a small dish.

Using paper towels, thoroughly dry the shrimp. Toss shrimp with cornstarch in a medium dish to coat.

Put 1/2 of the cooking oil into a wok or large saute pan over high heat and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. So when wok/pan is extremely hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and fry for about 1 minute, or until one side is beautifully charred. One minute later, flip and sear the opposite side of each shrimp. They do not have to be fully cooked just yet. Transfer to a platter and set aside.

 

Reduce the heat to medium and allow the wok to cool slightly to avoid the aromatics from scorching. Mix in the remaining cooking oil, green onion, garlic, and ginger for a minute, or until aromatic. If using other veggies, such as snow peas, add them now to the pan and stir fry for a minute, or until the vegetables are vibrant in color and crisp.

Ladle in the sauce mixture and return the shrimp to the pan. Continue to stir fry for yet another minute or so, or until the shrimp is cooked thoroughly. Serve right away.
