1 (8 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
1 (8 ounce) can baby corn, drained and cut into bite-size pieces

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons ginger, grated
1 teaspoon dried red chili pepper (or chili flakes)
3 scallions, minced
3 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons sherry wine
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons chili sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch, mixed with
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • In wok or skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until hot. Saute Shrimp, garlic, ginger, scallions and chile. Cook a few minutes.
  • Add sherry, ketchup, chili sauce, and cornstarch mixture and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until shrimp are done. Serve with rice.
  • Sometimes I dust the shrimp with flour before putting them in the oil, to make it like Chen's on iron chef! Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp that is peeled and deveined. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to cook the shrimp. This will help to prevent overcrowding and ensure that the shrimp cook evenly.
  • Add a little bit of oil to the skillet before cooking the shrimp. This will help to prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the shrimp over medium-high heat until they are pink and opaque. Do not overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

This easy 1-2-3 chili shrimp recipe is a great way to enjoy shrimp. The shrimp are cooked in a simple sauce made with chili sauce, soy sauce, and honey. The sauce is sweet, spicy, and savory, and it pairs perfectly with the shrimp. This dish is also very easy to make, and it can be ready in just 15 minutes.
