Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 3 stalks green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional for spice)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, pour in the prepared sauce mixture. Stir constantly until the sauce begins to thicken, about 1-2 minutes.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the garlic sauce.
Add the green onions and red chili flakes (if using) to the skillet. Drizzle with sesame oil, then stir well to combine.
Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed white rice.
