Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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