Notes
As with a lot of Chinese stir fry recipes, the actual cooking happens very quickly. All ingredients should be prepared beforehand. Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel before coating them to infuse flavor and protect during cooking. Use fresh garlic and ginger for best flavor. Do not overcook the shrimp to avoid a rubbery texture.
