Whisk anchovy paste, soy sauce, sugar, broth and season with red pepper flakes. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable and sesame oils. Add peppers and scallion whites and stir fry or saute, stirring continuously for one minute. Add shrimp and saute for another minute. Add garlic and saute for 15 seconds until you get a good whiff of its aroma.
