  3. Heat the butter in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the sliced onions and minced ginger to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions begin to soften and become fragrant.
  5. Add the shrimp to the pan and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, until they turn pink and opaque.
  6. Season with salt and a few dashes of Accent or white pepper to taste.
  7. Pour the prepared soy sauce mixture over the shrimp while still in the hot pan.
  8. Toss everything together and cook for 1 more minute until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the shrimp.

Note

For best results, use fresh or frozen thawed shrimp rather than pre-cooked frozen shrimp to ensure a tender texture.

If you don't have sherry, you can substitute with dry white wine or a splash of rice vinegar for acidity.

Serve this dish over steamed jasmine rice or with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.

Do not overcook the shrimp; they become rubbery if left in the pan too long. They are done as soon as they turn pink.
