For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the shrimp in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your liking, depending on your spice preference. Freshly grated ginger will provide a more intense flavor than ginger paste. Garnish with chopped cilantro or red pepper flakes for an extra pop of color and flavor. Serve with a side of steamed bok choy or stir-fried vegetables for a complete and balanced meal.
