Succulent shrimp kissed with the boldness of garlic and a hint of sweetness. This quick and delightful dish is perfect as an appetizer or a light meal, ready in mere minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside. (2 minutes)
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant, being careful not to burn it. (3 minutes)
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Pour the soy sauce mixture evenly over the shrimp. (1 minute)
Cook the shrimp until they turn pink and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, flipping once. Ensure the shrimp are cooked through but still tender. (4-6 minutes)
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
