Main Ingredients- 12 plump shrimp
- 400g pink Vienna sausages
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1/2 onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the garlic cloves and cut them in half. Cutting them in half allows the garlic flavor to infuse well into the dish.
Step 2
Peel and wash the onion, then dice it into small cubes, approximately 0.3cm x 0.3cm. Ensuring uniform size will help the onion cook evenly and release its natural sweetness.
Step 3
Make 3-4 shallow scores across the Vienna sausages. This helps the sausages to cook evenly and allows the sauce to penetrate, making them more flavorful and visually appealing.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the delicious stir-fry sauce. In a bowl, combine 4 Tbsp ketchup, 2 Tbsp chili powder, 2 Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsp soy sauce, and 2 pinches of black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined. Ensure there are no lumps for a smooth sauce.
Step 5
Heat 3 Tbsp of cooking oil in a preheated pan over medium-low heat. Add the prepared garlic and diced onion and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant, releasing a gentle, sweet aroma. Cooking them slowly develops their flavor.
Step 6
Once the garlic and onion are aromatic, add the scored Vienna sausages and shrimp to the pan. Stir-fry them together. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough; cook just until they turn pink and opaque.
Step 7
When the sausages and shrimp are appropriately cooked, pour the prepared stir-fry sauce into the pan. Stir everything together quickly to coat all the ingredients evenly with the sauce. Keep the heat at a moderate level to prevent the sauce from burning.
Step 8
Once all the ingredients are well-coated with the sauce and perfectly cooked, sprinkle 1 pinch of dried parsley flakes over the dish for a final touch of color and aroma. Your delicious Shrimp and Vienna Sausage Stir-fry is now ready! Serve it as a hearty main dish with warm rice or as a fantastic snack with a cold beer!
