Steps
- 1

You can use kitchen shears to devein the shrimp, which is easier and more convenient. After snipping open the head, find the vein along the back and remove it.
- 3
Pat the prepped shrimp dry with paper towels and set aside.

Secret sauce: Mix 25 g low-sodium soy sauce, 15 g sugar, and 30 g cooking wine evenly!

Chop the scallions and ginger, then set aside.

Place the shrimp in a skillet to sear. Arrange them nicely if you can—it's pleasing to the eye and ensures the shrimp heat evenly.

Sear the shrimp until golden brown on both sides! It should smell amazing by now!
