A quick and delightful Asian Garlic Shrimp recipe that combines garlic, ginger, and succulent shrimp, perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon green onions, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: cooked rice for serving

Instructions

  1. Combine Marinade Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Whisk them together until well blended, creating a fragrant marinade.
  2. Marinate the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the marinade, stirring gently to ensure each piece is well coated. Let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Heat the Vegetable Oil: In a frying pan over medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil. Allow it to get hot but not smoking; this is crucial for achieving the perfect sear on the shrimp.
  4. Cook the Shrimp: Carefully add the marinated shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they beautify your kitchen with their pink and opaque transformation.
  5. Garnish: Once cooked, sprinkle chopped green onions over the shrimp for that extra touch of flavor and color.
  6. Serve Hot: For a complete meal, serve this Asian Garlic Shrimp hot over a bed of cooked rice.

Notes

Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor. Adjust soy sauce and salt based on preference. Leftovers can last 2 days in the fridge.
