For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for 15-20 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of cornstarch to control the thickness of the sauce. Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots to the stir-fry. If you don't have peanut oil, vegetable oil or canola oil can be substituted. For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of chili oil to the sauce.
