Hi Shygirl, I made this for a gathering and it was a hit. I love that it is easy to do do. But can you please clarify the amount of garlic please? I could not tell if you meant 1 clove or 1 whole head of garlic. Since I like garlic so I used 1 entired head/7 cloves and the shrimp was very garlicky which was still great but if just wanted to know the exact amount for future references. Thanks in advance. -
10 stars all the way! love love the flavors of chili and oyster sauce together! Truly exquisite! Thanks girl! -
Excellent Dish! I made as directed except I used a red onion instead of a green onion. We served over rice. The sauce is very nice and very spicy which is what we like. Thanks shygirl. Made for Fall PAC 2008. -

I love to cook and bake whenever i have spare time. I am a good or shall i say exceptional baker according to my 4 kids. We are fortunate enough to travel constantly as a family and our passion is FOOD! We are constantly on a look out for new places to eat.
I enjoy entertaining in my house and we love to have guests come over. We are never out of food to feed my childrens' friends when they hang out. They always rave about my home baked goodies and it warms my heart to hear their oohs and ahhs....
