3. The purpose of adding oil during marinating is to increase the lubrication of the shrimp, to prevent the shrimp from sticking together during stir-frying, which makes the cooked shrimp more tender.

4. The marinated shrimp must be refrigerated for a period of time, because only under conditions of about 5 degrees Celsius is the absorption of the shrimp the best.
