Stir-fried shrimp and vegetables and finished in a sauce made with Chinese Tsingtao beer in this recipe from Jaden Hair, author of The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook and SteamyKitchen.com.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 7 minutes
Total Time: 17 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil, divided
- 8 ounces raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup canned baby corn, cut in half lengthwise
- 1/2 cup snow peas, cut in half lengthwise
- 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced thinly
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 cup Tsingtao beer*
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon cool water
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Preparation:
Instructions:
1. Heat a saute pan over high heat. When the pan is very hot, add just 1 tablespoon of the cooking oil and swirl to coat. Add the shrimp and arrange in one layer. Let cook undisturbed for 1 minute. Flip the shrimp and fry for an 30 seconds then immediately remove the shrimp to a plate. The shrimp should be seared on the outside but still a little uncooked on the inside.
2. Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel. Return the same saute pan to medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and swirl to coat. Add the bell peppers, baby corn and snow peas to the pan and saute for 1 minute. Stir in the garlic and the ginger and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3. Pour in the Tsingtao beer and the soy sauce and let come to a boil. Add the shrimp back into the pan and pour in the cornstarch/water mixture. Stir to coat the shrimp and let cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the shrimp is cooked through. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice.
*Other brands of beer, or wine or vegetable broth can be used in place of the Tsingtao beer.
