Ingredients

For the Marinade:
1 1/2-2 tablespoons oyster sauce (Thai oyster sauce or Lee Kum Kee)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 to 6 cloves garlic (minced, to taste)
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 red chili pepper (minced, or 1/3 teaspoon dried crushed chili; to taste)
For the Stir-Fry:
12 to 15 medium to large shrimp (or prawns ; butterflied, shells can be removed or left on)
2 to 3 tablespoons oil (for stir-frying)
Garnish: 1 lemon (cut into wedges)
Garnish: 1/2 cup coriander (fresh)

Steps:

Gather the ingredients.
In a bowl, combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, lime juice, and chili pepper. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
Place shrimp in the marinade and stir well to coat.
In a wok or frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp along with the marinade.
Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until the shrimp are plump and pink. They will also be lightly browned from the sauce. Avoid overcooking or the shrimp will turn rubbery.
Test the sauce for taste and adjust as needed to achieve a salty-sweet balance. Add more sugar if it's too sour. If it's too salty or sweet, add more lime juice.
Top the shrimp with coriander and add some lemon slices on the side. Enjoy!
