Ingredients
- 500 grams Shrimp (peeled and deveined, with tails on)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 30 ml White vinegar
- 60 ml Water
- 2 pieces Bay leaves
- 15 ml Cooking oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Spring onions (optional, chopped for garnish)

Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, and water. Set aside.
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and golden, about 1 minute.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, just until they begin to turn pink.
Pour the soy sauce-vinegar mixture into the skillet and stir to combine.
Add the bay leaves, ground black pepper, and sugar. Mix well.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5-6 minutes, or until the shrimp are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more soy sauce or sugar to taste.
Remove from heat and discard the bay leaves.
Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with chopped spring onions (if using), and serve hot with steamed rice.
