Instructions
- If needed, peel and devein the shrimp either removing the tails or leaving them on.
- Rinse peeled shrimp with running cold water to remove any dirt or tiny shells. Strain and shake out any excess water.
- Transfer the shrimp to a large bowl and pat dry with clean paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
- Then add cornstarch and toss until each shrimp is evenly coated. Residual starch in the bowl is normal.
- Heat 3 tablespoon or 45 ml vegetable oil in a large pan on medium heat. Fry the coated shrimp on both sides just until pink, curled, and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Do not overcook. Remove shrimp from the pan.
- In the same pan, reduce to medium heat, add remaining oil. Sauté red chili, green onions, shallot, garlic and ginger for 15 seconds.
- Toss back in cooked shrimp. Then add sugar, fish sauce and sesame oil in that order. Toss everything together and remove off heat to enjoy.
