- In a medium bowl, dissolve 1 1/2 teaspoons of cornstarch in the sherry. Add shrimp to the bowl, and toss to coat.

Add garlic to the hot oil, and fry for a few seconds, then add the ground pork. Cook, stirring constantly until pork is no longer pink.
- Combine 1 cup water, soy sauce, sugar and salt; stir into the wok with the pork. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for about 2 minutes. Mix together the remaining 1 1 /2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water. Pour into the pan with the pork, and also return shrimp to the pan. Return to a simmer, and quickly stir while drizzling in the beaten egg. Serve hot over rice.

SHRIMP IN LOBSTER SAUCE
You'll note that even though the sauce is called "Lobster Sauce", there is no lobster in the sauce at all. When lobster meat is used in this sauce, it is called "Lobster Cantonese", hence getting the name "Lobster Sauce". Pay no attention to the review by "Crazy Chef Bob". He has the correct name, because he is crazy. This is a DELICIOUS recipe. Try it, you will like it. If you have any questions e-mail me: AlanLeonetti@q.com

Steps:

Steps:
- Peel and devein the shrimp. Boil 2 cups of water in a large wok and stir in the ground pork. Break up any clumps and cook for about 1 minute, until the pork is no longer pink. Drain the pork in a mesh strainer and give it a quick rinse. This will give you a much clearer, cleaner sauce.
- Wash your wok and place over medium high heat. Add the vegetable oil, garlic, ground pork, and shrimp and stir-fry for 10-20 seconds. Add the wine and stir-fry for another 10 seconds. Add the chicken stock, sesame oil, sugar, salt, and white pepper. Stir in the peas.
- Once the mixture comes to a simmer, stir in the cornstarch slurry a little bit at a time. Let the mixture bubble and thicken. It should be able to coat a spoon, but it shouldn't have a gloopy consistency. If it gets too thick, add a little more chicken stock. If it's too thin, add more slurry.
- Spread the slightly beaten egg and scallion across the mixture and let simmer for 5 seconds. Use your spatula to fold the egg into the sauce with a few strokes. Serve over white rice.

SHRIMP WITH LOBSTER SAUCE
This Chinese-American dish got its name because the sauce is often used to dress lobster. This is an adaptation of a dish I grew up with. My father used to make this after discovering it at our local American Chinese restaurant. Shrimp and lobster sauce is a similar simplified version of his Chinatown favorite, Lobster Cantonese. His rendition was the addition of ground pork like his Chinatown favorite.

CHILLED SHRIMP WITH LOBSTER BUTTER
This is my cover-band take on a dish served one spring at the restaurant Joe Beef in Montreal, which paired an enormous quantity of chilled steamed Canadian shrimp, bright and sweet, with a tureen of lobster butter. It was a dark and clouded sauce, slightly yellow, slightly green. We dipped and ate - sweet shrimp meat against deep salinity and velvet sauciness - and it was like hearing a hit song for the very first time, addictive from the start. We dipped everything in lobster butter that night. We're still at it now.

Steps:
- Place the shrimp in a large saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover them. Turn the heat to high, and bring the water to a boil. Cover the pan, remove it from the heat and let the shrimp sit for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Drain the shrimp carefully, then place in a large shallow bowl and chill completely. (You can speed the process by placing the shrimp in an ice bath for 10 minutes or so.) Serve with warm lobster butter.
SHRIMP WITH LOBSTER SAUCE JOHN WONG STYLE
This is a recipe I developed from my memories of this dish at an Indiana restaurant. I would order this with Fried Rice and an Egg Roll. I combined several recipes and have experimented to try to replicate the flavor. This is the result, Lobster sauce is a misnomer as there is no lobster in the dish. It is the name for the style of sauce used on the dish.

SHRIMP IN LOBSTER SAUCE
A friend from work was born in Hong Kong. He went to live with his Master at the age of four. He accepts that learning, and now teaching, kung fu is his lot in life. However, his Godfather operated an open air "kitchen" in downtown Hong Kong. Cooking became my friend's passion. This is the recipe he gave me when I asked him how to make Shrimp in Lobster Sauce. **Doubling the recipe will triple the cook time, but not affect the quality of the dish.

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:
- Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp has a better flavor and texture than frozen shrimp.
- devein the shrimp. Deveining the shrimp removes the digestive tract, which can make the shrimp taste gritty.
- Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp should be cooked until it is opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp is tough and rubbery.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the shrimp. If the sauce is too thin, it will not adhere to the shrimp.
- Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to store the shrimp, refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Shrimp in lobster style sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The shrimp is cooked in a flavorful sauce that is made with lobster base, butter, garlic, and white wine. The shrimp is then served over rice or noodles.
This dish is sure to impress your guests. It is also a great way to use up leftover lobster. So next time you have some leftover lobster, be sure to try this recipe.
