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.
