3 tablespoons/45mls vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon/15mls grated, peeled, fresh ginger
1/2 to 1 teaspoon/2-5mls red chile flakes
1 pound/450g large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 medium onion, cut in 1-inch/2.5cm dice

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, fish sauce, and sugar; set aside. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and chile flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and stir-fry until pink but still translucent in the middle, about 1 minute. Transfer the shrimp to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon. Add the onion, pepper, and chile to the skillet, and stir-fry until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce mixture to the pan and bring to a boil for about 1 minute more. Add the tomatoes and stir until coated with sauce, about 15 seconds. Remove pan from the heat, stir in shrimp to coat. Add basil, mint, and lime juice, toss well.

 

Serve with rice.
Tip..it is best to slightly under cook the shrimp if making in advance to reheat.
