The Rev. Dr. Winfred Vergara, Asiamerica Ministries Officer of The Episcopal Church, adapted a recipe of deep fried shrimp in oyster sauce and leeks when he was missionary priest in Singapore and dubbed it Singapore Shrimp. It’s quick and tasty. Here’s the recipe:
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. ~ 1 Corinthians 10:31
Singapore Shrimp: Deep Fried Shrimp in Oyster Sauce and Leeks
Serves 4
Ingredients:
• 2 T. vegetable oil
• 1-2 pounds of shrimp
• 5 large cloves of garlic or more to taste
• 1 Sliced leek or 3 spring onions/scallions
• Oyster sauce (found in the Asian section at the grocery store)
• Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
Heat the oil in a pan and then fry the shrimp. Be careful because the shrimp jump up when hot. Once crispy looking, set them aside.
In a separate pan, fry the chopped garlic (the finer the better).
When the garlic is brown, toss in the deep-fried shrimp and add the oyster sauce, sprinkle with water as you even up the sauce on the shrimps.
Toss in the leeks (or spring onions), stir a little bit, and voila! You’ve got the Singapore Shrimp.
Add chopped red chili peppers/red pepper flakes if you want it hot and spicy.

Fred doesn’t peel them, because he says he likes the crunch, but says peeling them (or not) is a personal choice. If you want to be adventurous, fry ’em up with the peel on. And let us know what you think.

To clarify, Fred eats the shrimp, peel and all, but if you’re not into that extra crunch, peel after cooking.
