Method
 

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then cook according to package instructions in a pot, bringing to a boil and simmering until fluffy and slightly chewy, about 15 minutes.
  2. While the rice cooks, peel and devein the shrimp if necessary, then mince the garlic and grate the ginger finely using a microplane or grater.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Once shimmering, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant and lightly golden, about 30 seconds.
