Ingredients
1 pound medium sized shrimp
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
2 stalks scallions
Directions
- Wash scallions and cut off ends. Chop into 2 inch sections. Set aside.
- Peel off shell and remove heads of the shrimp. Using knife, score length-wise the back side of each shrimp to de-vein. Sprinkle salt on shrimp and wash with cold water and drain.
- Heat wok on medium-high heat with olive oil. Add shrimp and stir fry until almost cooked through.
- Add ketchup and chili garlic sauce and stir fry until shrimp evenly covered. Add scallions and stir fry for another minute. Scoop onto plate and serve!
Notes
- For a non-spicy option, just replace the chili garlic sauce with more ketchup and minced garlic.
