Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz peeled and deveined large shrimp in a single layer and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until they start turning pink.
Step 2: Add 4 thinly sliced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to the pan. Stir continuously for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
