Ingredients

  • teaspoon asian fish sauce 
  • tablespoon canola oil 
  • tablespoon asian chili sauce 
  • clove garlic thinly sliced
  • pound shrimp 
  • tablespoon sugar 

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • wok

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok set over medium-high heat. The pan is hot enough when the oil is almost (but not quite) smoking. It will have a certain shimmer.
  2. Add the shallots and garlic, and cook quickly stirring often, until softened and just beginning to brown. About 2 minutes.
  3. Add the shrimp, chili sauce, and sugar to the pan and cook stirring constantly until the shrimp have just turned pink and opaque, about 3 minutes. Do not overcook them, because they will continue to cook after they leave the pan.
  4. Pour the shrimp onto a serving platter and season with fish sauce, salt and pepper.
