Remove and set aside the Shrimp.

Notes
Oyster sauce is less sweet and saltier than Hoisin Sauce. But is a good substitute with a few changes. If using Oyster sauce, omit adding the Sea Salt, and optionally increase the Sugar. Other than those changes, Oyster Sauce or Hoisin Sauce can be used interchangeably. It's really a matter of preference.
