Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

500 g shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
2 tablespoons liquid honey
4 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 1/2 cm fresh ginger, peeled and grated
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Mix together 1 1/2 TBS of the oil, the honey, sherry, soy sauce, five-spice powder, garlic and ginger in a bowl.
  • Add the shrimp, making sure to coat them evenly with the marinade; cover and marinate for at least an hour or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Remove the shrimp from the marinade, reserving the marinade.
  • Heat a wok over high heat until it smokes, and then add the remaining 1 1/2 TBS oil.
  • Heat the oil for a couple of seconds, then add the shrimp and stir-fry for a minute, or until they have turned pink.
  • Pour in the reserved marinade and the water.
  • Cook briskly, stirring constantly and coating the shrimps with the sauce, for about two minutes.
  • Remove the shrimps from the wok, and continue cooking the sauce until it is well-reduced and syrupy, a matter of just a minute or so.
  • Serve sauce over the shrimps.
