Ginger-Garlic Shrimp

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)

Step 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.

Step 2

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

Step 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.
