Directions

1In a bowl, soak the glass noodles in hot water for 5 minutes until softened.
2Drain the noodles well.
3Wrap the softened noodles into small round nests and place them on a heatproof plate.
4Butterfly the shrimp by slicing along the back without cutting all the way through.
5Make a small slit in the middle of each shrimp and thread the tail through to create a curled presentation.
6Arrange each shrimp on top of a noodle nest.
7In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, minced finger pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a pinch of white pepper.
8Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a small pan over high heat until smoking hot.
9Carefully pour the hot oil over the garlic sauce mixture to release its aroma.
10Spoon the sauce generously over the shrimp and glass noodles.
11Place the plate into a steamer over high heat.
12Steam for 3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked.
13Remove carefully from the steamer and sprinkle scallions on top.
14If desired, heat an additional tablespoon of avocado oil until smoking and pour it over the finished dish for extra aroma and gloss.
15Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips

Threading the shrimp tail through a slit helps create an elegant presentation and even steaming.
Glass noodles absorb all the delicious sauce, making every bite flavorful.
The hot oil pour enhances aroma and gives the dish a glossy finish—but you can skip it for a lighter version.
Use high-smoke-point oil like avocado oil or grapeseed oil for the hot oil pour without burning.
