Step 1
Rinse the large shrimp and set aside.

2. Step 2

Step 2
Heat a small amount of oil in a wok over low heat, and slowly stir-fry the large shrimp. Be gentle when stirring to avoid breaking off the shrimp heads. Continue stir-frying until both sides are golden brown, then pour out the excess oil, leaving only a small amount. Next, pour in the well-mixed sauce and add a small amount of water to prevent it from becoming too dry. Continue stir-frying over medium heat, and when the sauce is almost dry, switch to high heat to thicken the sauce.
