Introduction
This Soy Sauce Pan-Seared Shrimp is a classic seafood dish full of nostalgic, traditional flavors. Using high heat to sear the shrimp shells until crispy, then stir-frying with garlic slices, leek whites, and aromatic black bean soy sauce to bring out a tempting caramelized aroma, this is a delicious home-cooked dish that pairs perfectly with rice or as a side for drinks.
Step 1
Prepare the shrimp: Place the shrimp on ice to keep them fresh, remove the antennae, and use scissors to cut along the back to butterfly, then pull out the digestive tract.
Step 2
Prepare aromatics: Slice the garlic. Separate the leek whites from the greens; chop the whites into coarse pieces (place with garlic slices) and finely mince the leek greens.
Step 3
Sear the shrimp: Heat the pan and add oil, then add the shrimp, maintaining high heat throughout the process. Sear the first side for about 3 minutes, then flip.
Step 4
Aromatize: After flipping the shrimp, add the garlic slices and leek whites to the pan. During cooking, use a spatula to press down on the shrimp to ensure even browning and heat distribution.
Step 5
Seasoning: Add white pepper powder and soy sauce, continuing to stir-fry rapidly over high heat so the sauce coats the shrimp thoroughly.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Placing the shrimp on ice during preparation effectively locks in freshness and maintains the elasticity of the meat. 💡
Butterflying the back not only makes it easier to remove the digestive tract but also helps the shrimp absorb the sauce better and cook faster. ⚠️
Cooking over high heat throughout the entire process is the soul of this dish, perfectly blending the caramelized aroma (wok hei) of the soy sauce with the crispy flavor of the seared shrimp shells. 🔥
Adding the leek greens at the very end and serving immediately prevents them from turning black or bitter due to overcooking. 🍳
