DIRECTIONS:
Step 1
Dry and score the back of each shrimp lengthwise through the shell, almost halfway through the body. Set aside.
Step 2
This can be done in advance to expedite your prep time.
Step 3
In a frying pan, heat oil on medium and quickly cook all the seasonings, garlic and ginger except for the salt and sugar. Toss in the shrimp and stir fry for a minute. Sprinkle in the salt and sugar, and continue stirring the shrimp around, making sure you cook both sides. You are done cooking the shrimp when it turns orange-pink and firm. This will take approximately three minutes.
Step 4
Place the shrimp on a plate with all of its juices. Garnish with green onions and season with cracked pepper.
Step 5
Serves two as a side dish.
