Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion, sautéing until they release their aroma.

  3. Add the shrimp to the pot and cook until they turn pink. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce, stirring well to ensure all the meat and shrimp are well-coated.
