PAN FRIED GARLIC, CHIVE AND SHRIMP BUNS
Steps:
- Mix warm water with sugar to dissolve. Add yeast and let stand for 10 minutes. Mixture should get foamy or the yeast is dead. Mix in lard. In a food processor, add flour and yeast mixture. While blade is spinning, pour in water until a ball forms. If dough is too sticky, add more flour. If dough appears dry and doesn't form a ball, add more water. As soon as a ball forms, take dough out and knead by hand on a floured surface. For 10 minutes roll dough into one long log about 2 inches thick. Cut into 2-inch pieces.
- In a large bowl, mix the ginger, shrimp, garlic chives, eggs and sesame oil. Season well with salt and pepper. Make thick circles of the dough and place stuffing in the middle. Encircle stuffing with the dough and seal with a little twist. Let rest in a warm place for 30 minutes. In a hot saute pan coated well with oil, place shrimp buns flat side down and cook until the bottom is browned. Have pan cover ready and add 1 cup of chicken stock, cover immediately. Be careful, the liquid will splatter! The stock will steam the buns. Check them in 5 minutes as more stock may be needed. The trick here is that once the buns are firm and fully cooked the stock will evaporate and the bottoms will crisp-up again.

PERFECT PAN-SEARED SHRIMP WITH GARLIC BUTTER
from America's Test Kitchen TV show. Their note: The cooking times below are for 21/25 shrimp (that is, the size of the shrimp is such that there are 21 to 25 in 1 pound). If 21/25 shrimp are not available, adjust cooking times slightly. Either a nonstick or traditional skillet will work for this recipe, but a nonstick will simplify cleanup.

Tips:
- Use large shrimp: This will make them easier to pan-fry and help them cook evenly.
- Peel and devein the shrimp: This will remove the shell and the digestive tract, which can be gritty and unpleasant to eat.
- Marinate the shrimp: This will help to infuse them with flavor and make them more tender.
- Use a good quality olive oil: This will help to prevent the shrimp from sticking to the pan and will also add flavor.
- Cook the shrimp over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from becoming rubbery.
- Do not overcrowd the pan: This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly.
- Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side: This is just enough time to cook them through without overcooking them.
- Serve the shrimp immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
