SHRIMP WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE
Steps:
- In a medium heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper and saute, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the white wine and reduce by about 1/3. Add the chicken stock cornstarch mixture and continue cooking, stirring all the time, until thickened. Add the soy sauce, pepper, and black beans and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and chunky.
- While the beans are cooking, fill a large saucepan halfway up with lightly salted water. Bring it to a boil over high heat and add the shrimp. Bring back to the boil and cook for 5 minutes, then drain well. Immediately spoon a layer of the black bean mixture onto each of 6 heated plates. Scatter the shrimp over the beans and top with a generous mound of spring onions and sprigs of cilantro.

SHRIMP WITH BLACK BEANS IN LOBSTER SAUCE
This is my #1 favorite Chinese dish and it has taken me a few years to duplicate the restaurant recipes and then enhanced to my liking. This origins of this recipe comes from the Lobster Cantonese style dish (with Lobster Sauce and a Chinese-American creation) which was popular in Cantonese restaurants in North America around 1950 or so years ago. Then another variation was created using shrimp and this dish was called Shrimp in Lobster Sauce (which uses the same sauce as the Lobster Cantonese dish but no lobster meat is used). These basic recipes contained a white type of sauce and with some green peas and ground pork added. After this still another variation was created and this time using salted fermented black beans in a dark soy sauce and either Lobster or Shrimp was used. Further, for this recipe (and the other above dishes) getting the eggs to "set" on top of the sauce was a challenge since most home ranges can not generate a very high heat (when using a wok) for cooking. However, I was successful in getting the eggs to "Set" properly by using heated sesame oil. That is, getting the eggs to "set" by partially cooking them (slightly runny eggs) and not incorporated them completely into the sauce.

Steps:
- PREPARATION.
- The shrimp- Remove the shells from the shrimp and devein by cutting a slit along the back of the shrimp (removing the vein), butterfly, place the shrimp in a bowl, add 2 teaspoons of salt, mix and then rinse under cold water, add another 2 teaspoons of salt, mix and then set aside for 15 or more minutes.
- The salted black beans- Rinse the beans briefly, place in a small bowl, add minced garlic, graded ginger, 1-2 tablespoons rice wine (2 cover) and then set aside to soak for 15 minutes.
- The ground pork- In a bowl add the ground pork, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, mix and then set aside.
- The stock- In a bowl add the stock, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, stir and then set aside.
- The thickening agent- In a small bowl add the tapioca powder (or cornstarch) with water, stir and then set aside.
- The eggs- In a small bowl add the eggs, with the water, mix lightly and then set aside.
- The scallions- Wash and clean the scallions and cut at an angle into 1/2 inch pieces, set aside.
- The sesame oil- In a small frying pan heat 2 tablespoons sesame oil, keep warm and then set aside in the frying pan (to be heated later and used after the eggs are added), as an option see the notes below.
- COOKING INSTRUCTIONS.
- In a Teflon pan (or wok) add 1 tablespoons peanut oil and when medium hot add the shrimp, stir-fry until the shrimp turns pink, do not overcook, remove and set aside.
- Next mash the salted black beans mixture a little, then add 1 tablespoons of oil to a clean Teflon pan (or wok) and when medium hot add the salted black bean mixture, then stir-fry until it starts to release its aroma.
- Next add the pork mixture and stir-fry until it loses its pink coloring.
- Next add the stock and stir-fry until boiling.
- Next re-stir the tapioca powder (or cornstarch), add to the pan and stir-fry to thicken the sauce.
- Next add the pre-cooked shrimp and cook for about a minute.
- While the shrimp is re-heating, heat the sesame oil until almost smoking and then set aside (in preparation to add on top of the eggs in order to set).
- Next add the egg mixture on top of the sauce.
- Then pour the heated sesame oil on top of the egg mixture to set/cook briefly (eggs should remain somewhat runny and do not stir the eggs into the sauce).
- Then add the scallions.
- Finally ladle the shrimp and sauce into a dish and try to retain some of the "set" egg on top for appearance. Serve and enjoy.
- NOTES:.
- Instead of using heated sesame oil, do not heat the oil (step # 9, 17) but add to the sauce in step #19 and stir once. Then add the eggs on top and use a cover to let steam "set" cook the eggs. However, this will increase the cooking time and you might overcook the shrimp.
- Serve with white rice on the side.
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and quickly.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. When possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing shrimp, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook the shrimp in batches: If you're cooking a large amount of shrimp, cook them in batches. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Season the shrimp to taste: Once the shrimp are cooked, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.
Conclusion:
Sautéed shrimp with fermented black beans is a quick, easy, and delicious dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful sauce made with fermented black beans, garlic, ginger, and scallions. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
