Shrimp in Ginger Chili Sauce

Ingredients


Shrimp:
Cornstarch
Salt
Raw shrimp
Cayenne Pepper


Sauce:
6 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoon rice vinegar
5 tablespoons granulated sugar
1.5 tablespoon chinese chile paste (the jar with the green lid)
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cloves minced garlic
1/4 cup very finely diced onion
1/4 cup slivered green chilies
1/4 cup green bell peppers

Shell, devein and wash uncooked shrimp. Dry with paper towels. Coat shrimp in cornstarch and season with some salt and cayenne pepper.

Heat oil in pan and fry shrimp until cooked and set aside.

In the same oil, saute the onion and garlic until slightly brown. Add ginger and fry for 30 seconds. Add the other ingredients and stir. Finally, add the shrimp and toss to heat through and coat with sauce. Add the chilies and bell pepper and stir for a few more minutes.


For this sauce I used almost the same recipe as the Crispy Ginger Beef.
