Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups canola oil
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 cup vegetable broth
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

4 cups cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • For the shrimp: Heat the oil until it reaches 360 degrees F in wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Dredge the raw shrimp in the cornstarch. Fry in batches, so as not to overcrowd the pan, until their exteriors crisp up, about 4 to 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the oil and put them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • For the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, vegetable broth and cornstarch. Set the bowl aside.
  • Heat the canola oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the onions, garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the bell pepper and cook for another 30 seconds. Pour in the prepared sauce and cook until the sauce thickens. Stir in the broccoli and water chestnuts and cook for 1 minute, then add the shrimp and fry for 1 minute more.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Use fresh shrimp, ripe tomatoes, and crisp vegetables.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Make the sauce vierge ahead of time: This sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
  • Chill the aspic thoroughly: The aspic needs to be completely chilled before you unmold it. This will help it hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Shrimp in Aspic with Sauce Vierge is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is relatively easy to make, but it does require some time and patience. With careful preparation and execution, you can create a stunning dish that will impress your guests.
