- Add shrimp to bowl and stir gently until coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat wok over medium heat. When several drops of water sprinkled on the pan skitter and dissipate, place shrimp and marinade into wok. Allow shrimp to cook, gently turning, approximately 4 minutes. Shrimp will turn from gray to pink. Do not overcook. Can be served hot or cold.
