    Heat a large cast iron skillet over the highest heat until very hot.

  2. 2

    Add peanut oil, salt, and sliced garlic. Toss for just a few seconds.

  3. 3

    Add shrimp and toss constantly until they all change to a bright orange color.

  4. 4

    Throw in the chopped scallions and sesame oil and toss for a few more seconds.
