Instructions

In a large bowl, stir together shrimp, soy sauce, garlic, and garlic salt until well mixed. Cover and let sit about 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Bring a large pan with the oil to medium high heat. Swirl to coat the surface of the pan. Add shrimp (leaving behind the marinade in the bowl) and sear on each side for about 1-2 minutes until golden. Transfer to a new bowl.
Reduce heat to medium and add sesame oil. Once heated, add garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant and golden (about 30 seconds).
Add water, brown sugar, sambal oelek, soy sauce, and sriracha. Stir until combined. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-4 minutes, until slightly thickened, like a runny sauce.
Add shrimp and gently toss to coat. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens.
Serve with the sauce from the pan. Garnish with red chili peppers, scallions, and sesame seeds. Serve with Yum Yum Sauce.

Notes

These shrimp are perfect served over rice or noodles.
Adjust sambal oelek and sriracha according to heat preference.
