Ingredients:

  • 1 inch fresh gingerroot (sliced very thin, then minced ' or grate the ginger)
  • 1 large navel orange ( zest peel , then slice orange into segments)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup dry sherry (ginger infused even better!)

Directions:

  1. In a bowl, combine the shrimp, black pepper sauce, grated ginger, orange zest, orange segments, and orange juice ~ marinate for 1/2 hour.
  2. In a hot skillet or wok, melt the butter and olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, and sherry ~ saute for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the marinated shrimp mixture.
  4. Saute for about 3-4 minutes until shrimp turns pink.
  5. NOTE: Sauce will be thin ~ you MIGHT be able to thicken it with a little cornstarch mixed with cold water, then add the cornstarch mixture to the hot sauce and simmer for 2-3 minutes while stirring, although I read that cornstarch doesn't react well to acidic ingredients so I have not tried to thicken this sauce with it. Perhaps I will buy some arrowroot and try that for this sauce!
  6. Serve over cooked jasmine rice, with steamed broccoli, or green beans.
