    2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    3 garlic cloves, minced
    1/2 pound large shrimp-shelled, deveined and cut into 1-inch pieces
    Salt
    1/2 pound green beans, thinly sliced 1/4 inch thick on an extreme diagonal
    1/4 cup chicken stock or low-sodium broth
    1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
    Freshly ground pepper

Heat a wok until very hot. Add the vegetable oil and heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and stir-fry for 10 seconds. Add the shrimp and a pinch of salt and stir-fry until the shrimp are just beginning to turn pink, about 30 seconds. Add the green beans and 2 tablespoons of the stock and stir-fry until the beans soften slightly, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of stock along with the fish sauce and a generous pinch of pepper and stir-fry until the shrimp are cooked through and the beans are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes longer. Serve right away. 

recommended: defer adding shrimp until last minute or two
