Get the shrimp ready:

Heat the Oil: Turn up the heat to medium-high in a wok or big pan. Heat it up with one or two teaspoons of peanut oil added.
Cook the Aromatics: Fill the wok with chopped garlic, chopped green onions, and sliced white onion. Add the onions and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, or until aromatic and beginning to turn translucent.
Add the Mushrooms: Fill the wok with the sliced mushrooms. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry for a further 3–4 minutes, or until they are soft and have released their juices.
Prepare the Shrimp:
After pushing the veggies to the edges of the pan, place the cooked prawns in the middle.
The shrimp should be seared for two to three minutes on each side, or until they become pink and are cooked through.

Add the sugar, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and MSG (if using) and stir. To ensure that the sauce coats the shrimp and veggies equally, thoroughly mix everything together.

One tablespoon of sun-dried tomato balsamic dipping oil may be added, if desired. After giving it a quick stir, let the flavors a minute to settle.
