- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
Shrimp Seasoning- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper

- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce

Oyster Sauce Seasoning- 1 Tbsp minced garlic

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thaw the cocktail shrimp under cold running water or in the refrigerator. Once thawed, gently pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Season the thawed cocktail shrimp with a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper. Gently toss to coat. This step helps to enhance the shrimp’s natural flavor.
Step 3
Peel and wash the onion thoroughly, then slice it thinly into strips. The sweetness of the onion will add depth to the dish.
Step 4
Similarly, wash the lettuce, pat it dry, and then slice it into strips of a manageable size. The lettuce will be added at the end to maintain its crispness.
Step 5
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat, add the cooking oil and minced garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic; stir-frying until aromatic is key.
Step 6
Once the garlic is fragrant, add the sliced onion to the pan and stir-fry together. Continue cooking until the onion becomes translucent and tender.
Step 7
When the onion is tender, add the seasoned cocktail shrimp to the pan and stir-fry. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, just until the shrimp turn pink. Overcooking can make the shrimp tough.
Step 8
Once the shrimp are almost cooked through, add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir-fry quickly to combine all the ingredients evenly. The rich flavor of the oyster sauce and the subtle sweetness of the sugar will create a delightful balance.
Step 9
Finally, add the sliced lettuce and stir-fry briefly, just until it slightly wilts. The trick is to not overcook it, preserving the crisp texture. Your delicious Oyster Sauce Stir-Fried Cocktail Shrimp is now ready!
