Directions:

Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Gently add the shrimps and fry for about 1 minute until they are half cooked. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the shrimps from oil and set aside on a plate.

Over medium-high heat, add ginger and scallions and stir for one minute.

Add water, wine, and vinegar, increase to high heat, and bring to a boil.

Add the shrimps and stir for about  2 minutes until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and serve with rice
