- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger (grated)

Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until just pink and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
