Shrimp Marinated in Soy Sauce with Egg Whites

4. Cook

Heat a non-stick or well-seasoned wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil.
Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 1–2 minutes per side, until they turn pink and slightly curled. Do not overcook.

Optional: Add minced garlic just before cooking the shrimp for extra depth of flavor.

5. Serve

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds. Serve hot over steamed rice, stir-fried noodles, or with sautéed vegetables.

🧠 Tips & Tricks

• Use fresh or thawed shrimp, not pre-cooked. The marinating process only works properly on raw shrimp.
• Don’t skip the cornstarch — it helps create the velvety texture and slight crispness when cooked.
• Want more flavor? Add a splash of Shaoxing wine, ginger juice, or a pinch of white pepper to the marinade.
