• Heat the oil, 2 slow turns of the pan, in a large, shallow nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the garlic and swirl. Add shrimp and cook, tossing the shrimp until pink and opaque or firm, 4 to 5 minutes. Add Shaoxing or alternative and lime juice and swirl to absorb into shrimp, 1 minute. Top with scallions. Slide the shrimp onto the lettuce.
• For the chicken and rice: Heat the water for rice in a 3-quart saucepot to a boil. Salt water, add rice and reduce heat to simmer. Cook rice covered for 15 minutes, shaking pan occasionally. Turn off heat and fluff with fork.

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil, garlic and ginger; do not let them brown, swirl constantly a minute or 2. Then add the chicken and tuck the garlic and ginger in between. Let the chicken brown 3 to 4 minutes.
