Add the onion, ginger, garlic, water chestnuts, and mushrooms to the skillet. Continue cooking and stirring until the vegetables have softened and the skillet is fragrant, about 2-4 minutes.

Cook about 2 minutes, until the shrimp is warm. Taste and adjust the salt, as needed. Scoop into bowls and drizzle with sweet chili sauce before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
You can find salad shrimp in the frozen section of most grocery stores. It is sold fully cooked, de-veined and peeled. Simply thaw the shrimp in a strainer under cold running water. It should only take a few minutes to thaw. Canned shrimp may be substituted for the frozen and thawed shrimp in this recipe.
