Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes

  • 500g shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly clean, peel, and devein the shrimp. Pat dry to remove excess moisture.

  7. Continue cooking for 3–4 minutes until the shrimp are cooked through and the sauce slightly thickens, avoiding overcooking.

  8. Remove from heat, transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with fresh chopped herbs.

Notes

  • Use fresh or high-quality frozen shrimp for the best flavor and texture.

  • Adjust the level of chili flakes and sriracha to control the heat.

  • This dish pairs beautifully with steamed rice or garlic fried rice.

  • Overcooking shrimp can make them rubbery—cook just until they turn pink.
