Easy Garlic Ketchup Shrimp Ingredients

• 4 cloves of garlic (finely minced)
• 2 stalks of green onion (cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 4 slices of ginger
• 18.3 oz of peeled and deveined shrimp
• 1/8 cup of cornstarch

For the ketchup sauce:

• 3 tablespoons of ketchup
• 1/2 teaspoon of soy sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon of dark soy sauce
• 1/16 teaspoon of salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
• 2 tablespoons of rice wine

How to Make Garlic Ketchup Shrimp

Step 1:

Place the peeled shrimp in a bowl and rinse with cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel. Make sure to dry them as you can. Transfer to a dry bowl. Add the cornstarch and mix until coated.

Step 2:

Make the soy sauce. In a large bowl, add ketchup, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, and sugar. Mix until well combined.

Step 3:

Place a pan over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the coated shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Transfer to a plate.

Step 4:

Lower the heat to medium. Add the ginger slices and cook for a few seconds, then turn the heat low and add the garlic. Once the garlic is just about to turn golden, add the ketchup sauce. Stir fry for a few minutes, then add some rice wine. Mix then cook the alcohol off.

Step 5:

Add the shrimp and the green onions to the pan. Quickly toast the shrimp until coated with the sauce. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
