SHRIMP IN GARLIC SAUCE



Shrimp in Garlic Sauce image

This is, by far and bar none, the most popular Chinese seafood dish I know. In fact, it is better than its restaurant counterpart because it uses real garlic, not dried garlic reconstituted in water.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound large shrimp (21 to 25 shrimp per pound), peeled
1 egg white
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 to 2 tablespoons water
2 cups plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons black soy sauce
2 tablespoons dry sherry
8 garlic cloves, crushed and finely minced
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger
5 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon chili paste, or to taste and tolerance
1/2 cup sliced fresh water chestnuts, optional
1 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons cold water
1/2 cup sliced scallions, on the diagonal in 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Using a cleaver or knife, slice the shrimp from the back, leaving a small donut-like hole in the center, essentially butterflying the shrimp. Be careful not to cut all the way through the shrimp. Rinse away any veins under cold water. Drain well.
  • Put the shrimp in a bowl and add the egg white, cornstarch and 1 to 2 tablespoons of water. Mix well. The consistency should be silky and the color milky.
  • In a large wok, heat 2 cups of the oil to 280 degrees F, or place 1 shrimp in the oil and when bubbles rise from it like Champagne bubbles in a glass, add the rest of the shrimp. Turn the shrimp gently in the poaching oil. When they are white and fluffy, remove them with a stainless steel strainer or brass metal strainer. Put the cooked shrimp in a colander to drain.
  • For the sauce. In a small saucepan, mix the chicken broth, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, sherry, garlic, ginger, sugar, and chili paste. Stir well. Bring the garlic sauce to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer.
  • In a clean wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to smoking. Add the sliced water chestnuts and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the garlic sauce, stir, and bring to a boil. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil, stirring until thickened. Add the shrimp. Toss and stir 3 times until well coated. Stir in the sliced scallions and serve.

Provided by Lorac

Categories     Cheese

Time 30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup butter
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 ounce cognac
1 ounce sweet sherry
1 1/2 lbs large shrimp, shelled
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
French bread

  • In a food processor, blend all ingredients except shrimp, cheese and bread.
  • Melt butter mixture in a skillet, add shrimp and saute until shrimp are pink outside and opaque in the center.
  • Top with cheese and serve atop French bread slices.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Frozen shrimp can be used, but fresh shrimp will give the dish a better flavor.
  • Clean the shrimp properly. Devein the shrimp and remove the shells. Rinse the shrimp under cold water before cooking.
  • Use a large skillet. A large skillet will allow the shrimp to cook evenly and prevent them from overcrowding.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese sauce is a key component of this dish, so be sure to use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese will work well.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Garlic shrimp is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the shrimp are hot and the cheese sauce is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Garlic shrimp in a creamy cheese sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
