Instructions
Step 1
In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce, chili-garlic sauce and sugar; set aside. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
Step 2
In a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, heat 1 tablespoon oil until barely smoking. Add half the shrimp in an even layer and cook without stirring until deep golden brown on the bottoms, about 2 minutes. Stir and cook until opaque on both sides, another 20 to 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Using 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil, cook the remaining shrimp in the same way.
Step 3
To the now-empty skillet over medium-high, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the onion and ginger; stir to combine. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to brown, about 1 minute. Add the ketchup mixture and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 30 seconds. Add ½ cup water and cook, stirring often, until a spatula drawn through the sauce leaves a trail, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the shrimp and accumulated juices to the skillet; stir to combine. Cover, remove from the heat and let stand until the shrimp are heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
