ingredients
For the Marinade
- 1/4 cup kosher salt
- 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
- 4 cups water
- 2 pounds (900g) shrimp, peeled and de-veined (defrosted)
For Cooking
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
- 4 large garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
- 4 teaspoons sugar
directions
- In a medium bowl, combine the salt, sugar, chili powder and water.
- Whisk until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
- Drop in the shrimp and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a 12-inch sauté pan (preferably nonstick) over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute.
- Add the sugar and continue stirring until the garlic is pale gold, 1-2 minutes more. Do not let the garlic turn dark brown.
- Drain the shrimp in a colander, and immediately add to the pan.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring constantly, until the shrimp are pink and barely firm, another 3-4 minutes.
