1. Prepare and Season Shrimp
Begin by patting the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season them generously on both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
2. Prepare Glaze
Heat your 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, fish sauce, and white vinegar until the sugar has dissolved. Pour this mixture into the skillet, and let it simmer until it thickens into a glaze.
3. Cook Shrimp
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are just cooked through.
4. Add Garnishes and Serve
As soon as the shrimp are done, toss in the chopped peanuts, thinly sliced scallions, fresh lime juice, and red-pepper flakes. Stir to combine, ensuring each shrimp is evenly coated with the garnishes and the sauce.
