This is a super fast and easy shrimp dish that's got a nice kick. I love to thicken up the flavourful sauce so it really clings to the shrimp. This is great with a side of rice or noodles.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 7 minutes

Total Time: 12 minutes

Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients:

1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 Tbsp sake or white wine
2 green onions, chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced

1 tsp chili paste
1 Tbsp sweet chili sauce
1 tsp cornstarch
1/4 cup water

In a small bowl, pour sake on the shrimp and mix well.

Heat a teaspoon of cooking oil in a pan over high heat. Add green onions, garlic and ginger. Fry for a minute, until lightly browned.
