Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, heat 3 Tbsp of cooking oil and 1.5 Tbsp of minced garlic in a pan over medium-low heat. Stir gently, allowing the garlic to turn a light golden brown without burning, to fully release its aroma.
Step 2
Once the garlic is fragrant, add 1 cup of the prepared shrimp to the pan and stir-fry quickly over high heat. When the shrimp turns a vibrant pink, reduce the heat slightly and add 1 Tbsp of butter to enrich the flavor.
Step 3
Finally, stir in 0.5 Tbsp of fish sauce and a pinch of black pepper. Mix everything quickly to create the aromatic and savory garlic shrimp. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
Using the same pan or a clean one, heat 3 Tbsp of cooking oil and 1 Tbsp of minced garlic over medium-low heat until fragrant. Then, add 1 cup of the prepared shrimp and stir-fry over high heat until lightly browned, ensuring the shrimp is partially cooked.
Step 5
Once the shrimp is somewhat cooked, add 2 Tbsp of ketchup, 1 Tbsp of chili powder, 1 Tbsp of sugar, a splash of soy sauce, a dash of vinegar, and a little water for simmering. As the sauce begins to thicken, stir in 1 Tbsp of butter for a glossy finish. Season with a pinch of black pepper and mix well to complete the sweet and spicy chili shrimp.
Step 6
Neatly arrange 1 bowl of cooked rice in your lunchbox or serving dish. Artfully place half of the garlic shrimp and half of the chili shrimp on top. This completes your elegant and delicious Shrimp Box lunch. Feel free to add complementary vegetables if desired.
