Instructions
- Thaw the frozen shrimp. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat a wok or skillet over medium heat. Add the melted butter, followed by the garlic. Sauté the garlic for 10 seconds, then add the shrimp. Stir the shrimp back and forth a few times before adding the fish sauce, sugar, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Stir and cook, then add the chopped scallions to the shrimp. Squeeze some lemon juice over the shrimp and serve immediately.
Notes
- I recommend Trader Joe's Wild Argentinian Red Shrimp for this recipe. You can also use any shelled or deveined shrimp.
- You can use oyster sauce in lieu of fish sauce. You will need about 1 heaping tablespoon of oyster sauce and add salt to taste.
