Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound medium shrimp
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 egg white
1 teaspoon chili paste with garlic (see note)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1/4 cup chicken stock
2 cups peanut oil
4 scallions, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
1/2 pound snow peas, strings removed

Steps:

  • Shell the shrimp, rinse them and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with the coarse salt and add cold water to cover. Leave them for at least five minutes.
  • Mix the cornstarch with one tablespoon water until smooth. Lightly beat the egg white with a fork and mix in the cornstarch mixture.
  • Rinse the shrimp, drain them well and coat them with the egg white. Leave them to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the chili paste, sesame oil, sherry and stock in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  • Heat the peanut oil in a wok or deep fryer until it is just hot enough so that a shrimp will float when added to it. Add the remaining shrimp and cook for 15 seconds, just enough to turn them opaque. Stir with a fork or chopsticks to prevent them from sticking together. Be very careful not to overcook. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain the shrimp on paper towels. (The oil can be reused twice only, with seafood.)
  • Pour off all but a tablespoon oil. Stir-fry the scallions, garlic and ginger for one minute. Add the snow peas and fry for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the chili paste-sherry mixture and stir well. Add the shrimp, just long enough to heat through. Serve immediately.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I usually make a double batch of the sauce and freeze it for later use.
