Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh green beans
- 300 grams shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the green beans and trim off the ends. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and water. Stir until well mixed to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the minced garlic and red chili flakes. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour in the stir-fry sauce. Mix everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the shrimp and green beans evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Enjoy the Stir Fried Green Beans with Shrimp and Garlic over steamed rice or as a standalone dish.
