Ginger Scallion Shrimp

Ginger scallion shrimp is a popular dish in many American restaurants, particularly those that serve Asian-inspired cuisine. To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

To prepare the dish, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they are pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set them aside.

In the same pan, add the scallions, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes, if using. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until the scallions are softened and the garlic is fragrant.

Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar to the pan, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then return the shrimp to the pan and toss to coat them in the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the shrimp are heated through.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve the ginger scallion shrimp over rice or noodles, if desired. Enjoy!
