Shrimp with Lobster Sauce
Indulge in succulent shrimp coated in a savory, umami-rich 'lobster sauce' that's surprisingly lobster-free, a classic of American-Chinese cuisine.
Ingredients
- 1½ lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 clove garlic
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 4 scallions
- 2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cup white rice (optional)
Steps
- Mince garlic and ginger. Slice scallions, separating white and green parts. Whisk chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Lightly beat eggs in another small bowl.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink; remove and set aside.
- Add garlic, ginger, and white parts of scallions to the skillet; stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the broth mixture and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- Slowly drizzle in the beaten eggs while stirring gently to create ribbons. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat.
- Garnish with green parts of scallions and serve immediately, ideally over steamed white rice.
