Ingredients
large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pound
vegetable oil
1 tablespoon
light soy sauce
2 tablespoons
oyster sauce
1 tablespoon
sugar
1 teaspoon
garlic, minced
2 cloves
green onions, chopped
2 stalks
sesame seeds for garnish
1 teaspoon
Instructions
1
Prepare the shrimp
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Make a shallow cut along the back of each shrimp to help it lay flat and absorb more sauce. Arrange in a single layer in a baking dish.
2
Make the sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and minced garlic until the sugar dissolves. Drizzle the oil over the shrimp, then spoon the sauce evenly over each one.
3
Bake until cooked through
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the shrimp for 8-10 minutes until they turn pink and curl. For a golden top, switch to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Finish and serve
