When hot add the oil, salt and garlic and toss for just a few seconds. The garlic should change color right away. Add the shrimp and toss constantly until they all change to a bright orange color. Throw in the green onions and sesame oil and toss for a few seconds more. Add the sherry and cover the pan. Turn off the heat and serve immediately.
