Servings: 4

Ingredients

Shrimps: 1 pound, peeled and deveined
Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
White pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
Cornstarch: 2 tablespoons
Vegetable oil: 2 tablespoons
Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
Ginger: 1 tablespoon, minced
Soy sauce: 3 tablespoons
Sugar: 1 tablespoon
White wine: 2 tablespoons
Green onions: 2, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, salt, white pepper, and cornstarch. Toss well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated and set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan. Sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque, stirring frequently.
Pour in the soy sauce, sugar, and white wine. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
