Time 40m

Yield 4 to 5 servings (10 to 12 ser

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound shrimp, shelled
1/2 cup water chestnuts, diced
1/2 cup carrots, diced
1 cup celery, diced
2 cups vegetable oil
1 cup cashews
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
Rice wine
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, place 2 cups warm water and add 1 teaspoon salt; stir to dissolve. Place the shrimp in the salt water and swirl. Leave the shrimp in salt water for 5 minutes, then rinse with cold water, drain and pat dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, cut the shrimp into 3/4 inch diced pieces.
  • Mix all sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Place the celery and carrots in boiling water for 1 minute. Remove from heat and rinse with cold water until cooled. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil to 325 degrees F.
  • Fry cashews until light brown (watch carefully as they burn easily). Drain on paper towel.
  • Add the diced shrimp to the oil and blanch for 5 seconds. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon from oil and remove oil from the wok.
  • Reheat wok until hot and add minced garlic and all the diced vegetables. Add the diced shrimp, sprinkle with the rice wine and stir-fry for 10 seconds. Add the sauce mixture and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Remove to platter and sprinkle cashews over top. Serve.

This recipe was a disaster! The shrimp was tough and the sauce was watery.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The shrimp was overcooked and the sauce was bland.

This dish was good, but not great. I think it needed more flavor. Next time I'll add some extra spices to the sauce.

The recipe was easy to follow, but it took a little longer to make than I expected. It was worth the wait though, because the dish was delicious.

This dish was a little too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the sauce.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sauce was so good that I even ate the shrimp!
