SHRIMP IN GARLIC SAUCE



Shrimp in Garlic Sauce image

This is, by far and bar none, the most popular Chinese seafood dish I know. In fact, it is better than its restaurant counterpart because it uses real garlic, not dried garlic reconstituted in water.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound large shrimp (21 to 25 shrimp per pound), peeled
1 egg white
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 to 2 tablespoons water
2 cups plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons black soy sauce
2 tablespoons dry sherry
8 garlic cloves, crushed and finely minced
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger
5 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon chili paste, or to taste and tolerance
1/2 cup sliced fresh water chestnuts, optional
1 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons cold water
1/2 cup sliced scallions, on the diagonal in 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Using a cleaver or knife, slice the shrimp from the back, leaving a small donut-like hole in the center, essentially butterflying the shrimp. Be careful not to cut all the way through the shrimp. Rinse away any veins under cold water. Drain well.
  • Put the shrimp in a bowl and add the egg white, cornstarch and 1 to 2 tablespoons of water. Mix well. The consistency should be silky and the color milky.
  • In a large wok, heat 2 cups of the oil to 280 degrees F, or place 1 shrimp in the oil and when bubbles rise from it like Champagne bubbles in a glass, add the rest of the shrimp. Turn the shrimp gently in the poaching oil. When they are white and fluffy, remove them with a stainless steel strainer or brass metal strainer. Put the cooked shrimp in a colander to drain.
  • For the sauce. In a small saucepan, mix the chicken broth, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, sherry, garlic, ginger, sugar, and chili paste. Stir well. Bring the garlic sauce to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer.
  • In a clean wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to smoking. Add the sliced water chestnuts and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the garlic sauce, stir, and bring to a boil. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil, stirring until thickened. Add the shrimp. Toss and stir 3 times until well coated. Stir in the sliced scallions and serve.

1 teaspoon butter

Steps:

  • Heat a large pot of water to the boil, add 1 tsp salt and pasta (cooking time about 11 minutes), then start your sauce.

Tips:

  • Properly Devein and Clean Shrimp: Remove the veins from the shrimp to ensure a clean and flavorful dish. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: Fresh herbs, aromatic vegetables, and a flavorful sauce make all the difference. Don't skimp on the quality of your ingredients.
  • Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so be mindful not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp become tough and rubbery.
  • Adjust the Sauce to Your Preference: Feel free to customize the sauce to suit your taste. Add more heat, tanginess, or sweetness as desired.
