- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 3 stalks green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional for spice)

Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil.

In the same skillet, pour in the prepared sauce mixture. Stir constantly until the sauce begins to thicken, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the garlic sauce.
