Ingredients You'll Need:
- 1 ½ lbs uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off, your call!)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili sauce (go mild or wild!)
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons Chinese rice wine (or a splash of dry sherry)
- 1 teaspoon sugar (just a touch!)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped (the more, the merrier!)

Instructions:
- Sauce it Up: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chili sauce, sesame oil, rice wine, and sugar. Set this flavorful concoction aside.
- Sizzle Time: Heat the olive oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until it's delightfully fragrant. Then add the shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until they turn a lovely shade of pink.
- Coat & Season: Pour the sauce over the shrimp and stir, ensuring every piece is coated in that deliciousness. Season with a pinch of black pepper.
- Garnish & Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh green onions. Serve this vibrant dish with fluffy rice or some crispy egg rolls for a complete and satisfying meal.
