Instructions

Marinate the Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp with Shaoxing wine, 1/2 teaspoon salt, white pepper, and cornstarch. Stir well to coat evenly and let it marinate for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate and the cornstarch to tenderize the shrimp.
Heat the Oil: Place a pan over medium-high heat and add the peanut oil. Heat until the oil shimmers, indicating it is ready for stir-frying.
Cook the Shrimp: Add the marinated shrimp to the hot pan. Stir-fry the shrimp continuously for 3 to 4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque, signaling they are fully cooked.
Add the Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs, seasoned with 1/4 teaspoon salt, directly into the pan with the shrimp. Stir gently and continuously to scramble the eggs until fully set but still moist, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Finish with Green Onion: Stir in the sliced green onion and add a pinch more salt if needed. Cook for another minute to combine all flavors thoroughly before serving.

Notes

Use fresh shrimp for the best texture and flavor.
Shaoixing wine adds authentic depth; substitute with dry sherry if unavailable.
Adjust salt according to your taste and dietary preferences.
Serve immediately for optimal texture and taste.
