Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large egg white
3 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine, mirin or dry sherry
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch, plus more for coating (about 3/4 cup)
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails intact)
1/3 cup Thai-style sweet chili sauce
3 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil, plus more for deep-frying
2 bunches broccolini, trimmed
1 bunch scallions, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 cups cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk the egg white with 1 tablespoon each rice wine, soy sauce and cornstarch in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and toss; refrigerate until ready to fry. Whisk the chili sauce, the remaining 2 tablespoons each rice wine and soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 cup water in a bowl; set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wok or large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the broccolini; stir-fry until charred in spots, 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water and stir-fry until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes; transfer to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium; add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the scallions, garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir-fry until tender, 2 minutes. Add the chili sauce mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 1 minute. Cover and set aside.
  • Heat 1 inch of oil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 365 degrees F. Working in batches, toss the shrimp in cornstarch to coat, then fry until crisp and golden, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • Return the wok to medium heat and reheat the sauce if needed. Add the broccolini and shrimp and cook, tossing, until warmed through, 2 minutes. (Add up to 1/2 cup water if the sauce is too thick.) Serve with the rice.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around the kitchen.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your dish. Use fresh seafood, vegetables, and spices whenever possible.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking shrimp and scallops, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick.
  • Cook the seafood until it is just cooked through: Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy. Cook shrimp and scallops for just a few minutes per side, until they are opaque and firm.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick and flavorful: The sauce is an important part of this dish. Make sure it is thick and flavorful by using a combination of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The shrimp and scallops will be at their best when they are hot and crispy.
