* ⅛ tsp **white pepper powder** * ½ tbsp **light soy sauce** * ½ tsp **ginger**, finely minced, optional * 1 clove **garlic**, finely minced * 1 tbsp **oil** * 5 large **shrimp** * **coriander (cilantro)**, garnish to taste
# Instructions
**1. Make the sauce.** In a small bowl, mix minced ginger, minced garlic, light soy sauce, and white pepper. Set aside.
**2. Butterfly the shrimp.** Use kitchen shears or a sharp knife to cut along the back without removing the shell. Gently open and press each shrimp flat.
**3. Sear meat side first.** Heat oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Place shrimp meat-side down and press gently with a spatula. Cook until lightly golden and almost cooked through.
**4. Flip and crisp the shell.** Flip the shrimp and cook until the shell turns bright orange and slightly crispy.
**5. Add sauce.** Spoon the garlic-soy mixture onto the meat side. Let it warm for 10 seconds, then turn off the heat.
**6. Garnish and serve.** Top with chopped coriander or green onions and serve immediately.
