Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Fresh coriander (cilantro leaves, chopped)
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Spring onions (chopped for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
In a small bowl, prepare the lemon coriander sauce by combining the chopped coriander, lemon juice, lemon zest, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and red chili flakes. Mix well and set aside.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and pour the prepared lemon coriander sauce into the skillet. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to slightly thicken and meld the flavors.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the sauce.
Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped spring onions.
Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice or noodles, and enjoy your flavorful Thai Garlic Shrimp with Lemon Coriander Sauce.
