Pretty good recipe! I doubled the sauce - at least! - but I used low-sodium soy sauce, and didn't have any problems with it being salty. I also used fresh ginger, and added some red pepper flakes with the cayenne pepper. I threw in the onions at the same time as the garlic; probably should have added them with the shrimp instead. Easy and tasty, something I'll be making again!
