Instructions

1
Crush the garlic (a bit more) with a food processor and rinse it. Squeeze out the water and set aside.
2
Blanch the shrimp tails with ginger slices and cooking wine.
3
Rinse with cold water and drain off the excess moisture.
4
Add more oil to the pan and stir-fry the shrimp tails over high heat. If possible, it’s best to deep-fry them.
5
Add a little base oil to the pan, then add 2/3 of the minced garlic and stir-fry over low heat.
6
When it turns slightly golden, add oyster sauce and light soy sauce and stir-fry until fragrant.
7
Add the shrimp tails and stir-fry evenly, then add salt, MSG, an appropriate amount of beer and water, and turn to high heat to boil to release some of the beer aroma.
8
Then cover the pot, reduce to low heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Finally, add the remaining 1/3 of the minced raw garlic and use high heat to thicken the sauce.
9
Once the sauce is thickened, sprinkle with chopped green onions and it's ready to serve.
