3. Turn down heat to medium. In the same pan, add more oil if necessary. SautĆ© ginger and garlic until lightly brown, for about a minute. Constantly stir so they donāt burn.
4. Add shallots and chili pepper. Cook for a minute.
5. Add the chili garlic sauce, cooking wine, fish sauce, water, sugar, and salt. Let it simmer for a minute. Taste and adjust.
6. Mix the butter in.
7. Bring the shrimp back to the pan and coat with the sauce. Turn off the heat.
8. Add scallions, cilantro, and fried garlic. Serve right away and enjoy!
