Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the shrimp to the pan and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the minced garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice.

Step 6

Return the shrimp to the pan and pour the sauce mixture over the shrimp and vegetables. Add the sliced Thai red chili.

Step 7

Continue to stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the shrimp and vegetables are well coated with the sauce.

Step 8

Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the fresh basil leaves and give everything a final toss.

Step 9

Serve the Thai shrimp stir-fry hot, over the cooked jasmine rice.
