Note
Do not overcook the shrimp; they should be pink and just curled. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
The original text included instructions for roasted garlic, stuffed mushrooms, and other dishes. These have been omitted as they are not part of the Ginger-Garlic Shrimp recipe.
For best results, use fresh ginger and garlic. Minced ginger and garlic from a jar can be used in a pinch but will lack the same intensity of flavor.
Serve with steamed rice, noodles, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful oil.
