Directions

  1. Rinse the shrimp and pat them completely dry with paper towels.

  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the shrimp paste mixture to the hot oil.
  6. Stir-fry the paste constantly for 2-3 minutes until it turns a deeper pinkish-orange and becomes fragrant.

  9. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
