    Step 6:

  • Peel the garlic and ginger. Crush the garlic with the flat of a knife and slice the ginger into rounds. Pour oil into a skillet, add the garlic, ginger, bay leaves, and peppercorns, and fry for 1 minute. Then add the shrimp, sprinkle in the ground red pepper and salt, and cover with a lid. The shrimp will release their juices; as soon as they come to a boil, turn off the heat and let all the flavors mingle for 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter and, if you like, finish with a squeeze of lemon juice. Enjoy!
