Instructions
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and swirl to coat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
