To make the shrimp:

Remove the shrimp from the marinade, reserving 1/4 cup of the marinade.
Place remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan or wok, set over medium high heat and when it shimmers, add the shrimp. Cook, tossing continually for 1 minute. Add the reserved marinade and continue cooking until sauce has reduced slightly and shrimp are opaque and just cooked through, about 2 minutes.
