Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 300 grams long beans (trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the hot skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until pink and just cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the long beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir well to coat all ingredients evenly.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauces are heated through, and the dish is fragrant.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the sautéed shrimp and long beans immediately with steamed rice or noodles of your choice.
