Step 1:

Here's how to fry shrimp in soy sauce — quick and easy, and fast, too. Start by gathering everything on the ingredient list.
Step 2:

Fresh shrimp are ideal, of course, but if you can't track them down, frozen work just as well. Peel the shrimp and rinse them.
Step 3:

Peel the ginger root and finely chop it.
Step 4:

Peel the garlic cloves and mince them as finely as the ginger.
Step 5:

Add the chopped ginger and garlic to a skillet with heated vegetable oil and fry for a couple of minutes, stirring.
Step 6:

Add the prepared shrimp and cook, stirring, until they turn pink.
Step 7:

Now add the soy sauce. Look for one bottled in glass — it's a good sign you're getting the real thing. Simmer the shrimp in the sauce for 3 minutes.
Step 8:

Take the skillet off the heat and transfer the shrimp to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped green onion or dill. Welcome to Asian cooking!

Soy products have become a firm part of our kitchens, and home cooks have turned them into a canvas for experiments. Soy sauce, now on every store shelf, is one of them — new to many of us, but it's been made in China for some 2,000 years. It's vegetarian-friendly and lends a rich, savory depth to whatever you cook, and it's especially at home with seafood. Trust me, shrimp fried in soy sauce is something special — give it a try and tuck the recipe away for later. I could happily eat shrimp, squid, mussels, and every other gift of the sea around the clock, which is why I'm always hunting down new recipes to keep things interesting. I hope shrimp made this way become a favorite of yours, too. Enjoy, and happy cooking!
