Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, then add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2: Add 12 oz peeled and deveined large shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes without stirring until the edges start turning pink and slightly crisp.
Step 3: Flip shrimp and add 3 thinly sliced scallions, 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, tossing everything together and cooking for 1-2 more minutes until shrimp are opaque and the sauce coats them.
