Ingredients

For the Marinade:
1 1/2-2 tablespoons oyster sauce (Thai oyster sauce or Lee Kum Kee)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 to 6 cloves garlic (minced, to taste)
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 red chili pepper (minced, or 1/3 teaspoon dried crushed chili; to taste)
For the Stir-Fry:
12 to 15 medium to large shrimp (or prawns ; butterflied, shells can be removed or left on)
2 to 3 tablespoons oil (for stir-frying)
Garnish: 1 lemon (cut into wedges)
Garnish: 1/2 cup coriander (fresh)

Steps:

Gather the ingredients.
In a bowl, combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, lime juice, and chili pepper. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
Place shrimp in the marinade and stir well to coat.
In a wok or frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp along with the marinade.
Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until the shrimp are plump and pink. They will also be lightly browned from the sauce. Avoid overcooking or the shrimp will turn rubbery.
Test the sauce for taste and adjust as needed to achieve a salty-sweet balance. Add more sugar if it's too sour. If it's too salty or sweet, add more lime juice.
Top the shrimp with coriander and add some lemon slices on the side. Enjoy!

THAI SHRIMP

Thai Shrimp image

Here's the Asian way of chopping ginger: Scrape off the skin with the edge of a small spoon. Then cut it into very thin slices across the grain. Lay the slices in a single layer on half of a sheet of plastic wrap; fold the other half over the ginger. Pound the ginger slices with the flat side of a meat mallet. They'll separate into natural fibers. Scrape them together and chop them into small pieces. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
