Garlic Shrimp
Ingredients:
• 12-15 medium to large shrimp or prawns, butterflied (shells can be removed or left on, as desired)
• 2 Tbsp. oyster sauce (I used Golden Dragon Brand)
• 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp. fish sauce (available in tall bottles at Asian stores)
• 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 5-7 cloves minced garlic (to taste)
• 2 Tbsp. lime juice
• 2-3 Tbsp. oil for stir-frying
• 1 fresh red chili, minced, OR 1/2 tsp. dried crushed chili (to taste)Garnish:
• lime or lemon wedges
• handful of fresh coriander
• Optional: more fresh chili, OR dried crushed chili
Method:
1. Make the marinade/sauce by combining in a mixing bowl: oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, lime juice, and chili. Stir well.
2. Place shrimp in the marinade and stir well to coat.
3. Heat some oil in a wok or frying pan. When hot, add the shrimp along with the marinade.
4. Stir-fry 2-3 minutes, or until shrimp are plump and pink. They will also be lightly browned from the sauce. (Avoid overcooking, or shrimp will turn rubbery.)
