INGREDIENTS:
1/2 pound large shrimp, in shells 1 tablespoon peanut oil 2 tespoons salt
2 cloves garlic, sliced 1 tespoon fresh-grated ginger 2 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon light soy sauce 2 tablespoons gin



1 Have all ingredients ready. This dish must be done very quickly and over very high heat. Do not peel the shrimp.
2 Heat the wok or frying pan until very hot. Add the oil, salt, and garlic all at once. Throw in the shrimp, and chow it for a moment. Add the ginger and the green onions, still at high heat. Toss about for a moment until the shrimp changes color from a gray to a bright orange-pink.
3 When the shrimp are cooked to your taste, and this should take only a moment, throw the soy sauce and the gin into the pan all at once. It should make a great sizzling sound. Put a lid on the pan immediately, and turn off the heat. Serve while still hot. Each guest may peel his own shrimp, but many of us eat the shell and all. This is a good dish.
