Ginger-Garlic Shrimp

A simple salt "massage" cleans the shrimp and makes them crisper. Prep and Cook Time: 15 minutes.

Yield: Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 1/2  teaspoons  salt
• 1 1/2  pounds  peeled, deveined shrimp (31 to 40 per lb., tails on)
• 2  tablespoons  vegetable oil
• 8  quarter-size slices peeled ginger
• 3  tablespoons  minced garlic
• 3  tablespoons  Chinese rice cooking wine, such as Shaohsing
• 4  green onions, ends trimmed, finely sliced (including green parts)

Preparation

1. In a bowl, sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons salt over shrimp and mix gently with your hands, about 1 minute. Pour shrimp into a colander and rinse well with cool water.

2. Pour oil into a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add ginger and garlic and stir until they sizzle, about 30 seconds.

3. Add shrimp and rice wine; stir constantly until shrimp are almost all pink on the outside, about 2 minutes. Add green onions and stir just until shrimp are opaque in the center (cut to test), about 1 minute longer.
