Steps:
- Put the shrimp in a medium bowl with 2 cups cold water and 2 tablespoons kosher salt. Stir to combine and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse the shrimp under cold running water and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. Pat the shrimp with more paper towels to thoroughly dry.
- Combine the chicken stock, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and crushed red pepper in a medium bowl. Stir until the cornstarch is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Heat a wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat for 2 minutes. Add the oil to the pan and swirl to coat. Carefully add the shrimp in a single layer. Allow to cook for 2 minutes, using a wooden spoon or spatula to stir-fry them. Add the garlic, ginger and scallion whites and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the snow peas and bell pepper and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the cornstarch mixture and scallion greens and stir-fry until the sauce has thickened, about 15 seconds. Immediately transfer the stir-fry to a dish. Serve with rice.
STIR-FRIED SHRIMP, CHINESE STYLE
From the Frugal Gourmet, Jeff Smith. This is a simple appetizer recipe that Jeff created because he was inspired by a similar recipe he had eaten in San Francisco. It's an easy fix! You will have to peel and eat, so make sure to have plenty of napkins!

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, soy sauce and cilantro and set aside.
- Pat the shrimp very dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, add shrimp and cornstarch and toss to coat.
- In a wok or large saute pan over high heat, add half the cooking oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. When the wok is very hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook partially until one side is nicely seared, about 1 minute. Flip and sear the other side of each shrimp, about one more minute. They don't need to be cooked all the way through yet. Remove them to a plate and set aside.
- Turn the heat down to medium and let wok cool off a bit to prevent the aromatics from burning. Add the remaining cooking oil and add green onion, garlic and ginger and stir fry for a minute until fragrant. [If you are using other vegetables, like snow peas, add them to the wok now and stir fry for a minute or until the vegetables are bright in color and crisp-crunchy]
- Pour in the sauce mixture and add the shrimp back into the pan. Stir fry for another minute or so until shrimp is cooked through. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- To ensure the shrimp are cooked evenly, use a large skillet or wok that allows them to spread out in a single layer.
- If you don't have Chinese rice wine, you can substitute dry sherry or white wine.
- If you don't have any fresh ginger or garlic, you can use ground ginger and garlic powder instead. Just be sure to use half the amount, as they are more concentrated.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet or wok when stir-frying. This will cause the shrimp to steam instead of fry and will make them tough.
- Stir-fry the shrimp until they are opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes. Overcooking will make them tough.
- Serve the stir-fried shrimp immediately with rice, noodles, or vegetables.
