- 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.

Steps:
- Combine the egg white, the 2 teaspoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of the salt, 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil and 1/2 teaspoon of the white pepper in a bowl. Rinse and dry the shrimp, add them to the bowl and mix. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Bring 2 cups water to a boil. Remove from heat, add the shrimp mixture and stir vigorously to separate them. When the shrimp turn white, in about 2 minutes, drain them in a colander; discard the liquid.
- Dissolve the remaining cornstarch in 2 tablespoons cold water, and set aside. Combine the ginger, garlic and black beans in a dish. In another dish, combine the wine, soy sauces, sugar, broth and the remaining salt, sesame oil and white pepper.
- Place a wok or skillet over high heat. When it is hot, add the peanut oil, and when it starts to smoke, toss in the ginger mixture, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the pork and stir-fry, breaking it up, until it loses its pinkness, about 2 minutes. Add the wine mixture, and bring to a simmer. Stir in the dissolved cornstarch, then fold in the shrimp, cooking everything for about 1 minute. Slowly pour in the beaten egg in a thin stream. When it starts to set, transfer the food to a warm serving dish.
- Garnish with scallions, and serve.

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.

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: [email protected]

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp and lobster. Fresh seafood will give your sauce a richer flavor.
- Cook the shrimp and lobster properly. Overcooked seafood will be tough and chewy. Shrimp should be cooked until they are pink and opaque, and lobster should be cooked until the meat is white and firm.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough. A thin sauce will not coat the shrimp and lobster properly. If your sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by adding a cornstarch slurry or a roux.
- Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of cayenne pepper.
- Serve the shrimp and lobster sauce immediately. This dish is best served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Shrimp with lobster sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With its rich and flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to impress your guests. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook shrimp, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
