Peel and devein the shrimp, and remove the tails. Cut the cabbage into 1-2 inch pieces.
In a large bowl, season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and Shaoxing cooking wine. Let it marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat a large skillet or a wok over medium high heat with two tablespoons of cooking oil. Add the minced garlic and stir fry until fragrant.
Place the marinated shrimp in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Set aside.
In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. (optional) Stir-fry the cabbage pieces until the cabbage is tender yet crisp.
Drizzle the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water over the top of the cooked cabbage pieces, tossing to coat evenly.
Place the cooked shrimp on top of the cabbage mixture in the skillet. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the shrimp and cabbage are evenly coated with the sauce.
Turn off the heat and serve hot. Enjoy!
