  • Toss the shrimp by pulling the pan toward you with a sudden jerkthis gets the shrimp to jump out of the pan, or stir the shrimp with a pair of chopsticks or a wooden spoon.

  • Wipe any oil out of the pan with a paper towel and pour in the soy saucesugar mixture.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat and when the sauce is reduced by about half, put the shrimp back in.
