👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
Prepare the okra: Wipe the okra clean, trim the ends, and slice into 1/4-inch rounds. If the okra is particularly slimy, you can briefly blanch it in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes, then shock in ice water to reduce sliminess, and drain well.

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, minced ginger, minced green chilies, and shrimp paste (if using).

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic-ginger-chili paste and stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the sliced okra to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the okra is tender-crisp. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become mushy.

Add the shrimp to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
