Garlic Chili Shrimp
Report
Asian style stir fried garlic chili shrimp or prawns is juicy, spicy and sweet. Often in Asian cuisine, shrimp or prawns are cooked as a whole that have head and shell on. Not only is it convenient to cook, but also it retains shrimp juicy and gives more flavor to the food.

Instructions
- Mince 5 cloves of garlic.
- Cut 3 sticks of green onion.
- Pour ½ tablespoon of vegetable oil into a non-stick pan and turn on medium to high fire. Then, add minced garlic and stir fry for a minute.
- Next, add the washed whole raw shrimp and stir fry a little bit.
- After that, add 1 tablespoon of chili garlic sauce, ½ tablespoon of soy sauce, ½ tablespoon of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of water and stir fry a few minutes.
- Until the shrimp cooks. It turns orange red. (Around 3-5 minutes and don't over cook them because the texture of shrimp will change.)
- When the shrimp is cooked, add the chopped green onion, mix it and ready to serve.
Notes
- Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor and texture. Look for shrimp that have a firm texture, a mild sea scent and a translucent appearance.
- The best is to use whole shrimp with shell and head on.
- Fresh one is ideal. If not, frozen whole shrimp.
- The spiciness of chili garlic shrimp depends on the type and quantity of chili peppers used. Adjust the heat level to your preference. If you prefer a milder, add a little bit of chili garlic sauce. I suggest adding half tablespoon at a time.
- To achieve a well-balanced flavor, add brown sugar or sugar to add the touch of sweetness.
- Don't over cook the shrimp because it will change to a tough and dry texture.
- Remember to add chili garlic sauce depending on how hot you can handle. I suggest adding half tablespoon at a time.
