Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, including the marinade. Let sear on one side until golden-brown, about 1 minute. Add the reserved marinade, tossing the shrimp with tongs to combine. Continue to sauté until the shrimp is opaque and cooked through, about 1 minute more.

Serve over rice and lettuce. Garnish with scallions and more pan sauce.
