Description

This quick and flavorful stir-fry highlights the natural sweetness of large shrimp paired with the crisp, fresh bite of green onions. The dish is coated in a light cornstarch slurry that helps create a tender texture while allowing the savory notes of rice wine and soy sauce to shine. Perfect for a busy weeknight dinner, this recipe comes together in under 30 minutes, requiring minimal ingredients and maximum flavor. Serve it hot over steamed jasmine rice or alongside steamed vegetables for a balanced, satisfying meal that feels like a restaurant-quality experience right in your own kitchen.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, toss the shrimp with rice wine and cornstarch until evenly coated.
  2. Heat the salad oil in a wok or wide frying pan over high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the shrimp mixture to the hot pan and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until the shrimp turn bright pink.
  4. Add the sliced green onions and continue to stir-fry for about 2 more minutes until the onions are crisp-tender and shrimp are just opaque in the center.
  5. Remove from heat and serve immediately, offering soy sauce on the side for additional seasoning if desired.

Note

Prep all ingredients before heating the pan, as stir-frying happens very quickly.

For best results, ensure the wok is very hot before adding the oil to prevent sticking.

This dish pairs excellently with steamed jasmine rice and ginger-seasoned cooked carrots.

If using frozen shrimp, thaw completely and pat dry before marinating to ensure proper searing.
