This is one of the most delicious shrimp stir-fry dishes, even better than any Asian restaurant! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
2 tablespoons dry sherry or 2 tablespoons rice wine |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic, to taste (lots is better!) |
1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger |
1 teaspoon sesame oil |
1 1/2-2 lbs uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined |
3/4 cup chicken broth |
3 tablespoons sugar, to taste |
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/4 cup soy sauce |
3 tablespoons dry sherry or 3 tablespoons rice wine |
2 teaspoons rice vinegar |
6 small chili peppers or 1 teaspoon crushed dry red pepper flakes, to taste |
4 tablespoons oil, divided |
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic, to taste |
1 1/2 cups green onions, cut in 1/2 inch pieces |
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cored, cut into 1/2 inch squares |
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine all marinade ingredients; stir in the shrimp until evenly coated; marinate for 20-25 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, blend together all sauce ingredients.
3. Slice the chili peppers in half lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a knife, then cut the peppers into 1/4-inch pieces (I use rubber gloves for this, watch your eyes, these are HOT!).
4. In a large wok or large heavy skillet, over high heat, add in half of the marinated shrimp; stir-fry for 2 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink; remove.
5. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in the same wok/frypan, and stir-fry remaining shrimp in the same manner; remove.
6. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.
7. Heat the remaining oil in the same pan.
8. Add the chili peppers and garlic; stir-fry 10 seconds, or until peppers start to turn brown.
9. Add in the green onions and bell pepper; stir-fry 1 minute.
10. Add in the sauce mixture; cook, stirring until sauce boils and thickens.
11. Stir in the shrimp and sesame oil.
12. Serve immediately.
