Stir-Fried Prawns in Hot Oil

Whole prawns hit screaming-hot oil for seconds, crisping the shells while locking in sweet, juicy meat. A glossy glaze of soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar clings to every curl, delivering a classic Chinese preparation that is flashy yet remarkably quick.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Thaw the frozen large shrimp in advance, wash them, trim off the shrimp legs and whiskers, and butterfly them to remove the shrimp vein.

  2. 2

    Prepare the sauce by mixing light soy sauce, vinegar, salt, and sugar in the proper proportions and set aside. Dice the ginger and garlic and set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a pan, when it reaches 60% hot, add the shrimp, and remove to drain after about 30 seconds.

  4. 4

    Leave some oil in the pan, sauté ginger and garlic until fragrant, add the shrimp and stir-fry, pour in the sauce and stir-fry evenly, then it’s ready to serve.
