Slippery Shrimp Recipe

Slippery Shrimp

From irishiz 16 years ago

From Yang Chow Restaurant in LA courtesy of Bon Appetit magazine. I want to try this so I figured if I put it here I can find it again!

Mix shrimp and 6 tablespoons cornstarch in large bowl to coat. Mix remaining 4 teaspoons cornstarch and 4 teaspoons water in small bowl to blend.
Heat oil in heavy larg skillet or wok over high hieat. Working in batches, fry shrimp until cooked through and golden on both sides, about 3 mintues. Transfer shrimp to plate and cook remaining shrimp.
Drain all but 1 tablespoon oil . Over medium high heat add garlic, sugar, cayenne and salt; stir constantly until garlic begins to brown, about 15 seconds. Add tomatoe sauce, vinegar, and Sherry. Stir cornstarch mixture and add to sauce. Cook until sauce boils and thickens, stiring constantly, about 1 minute.
Add reserved shrimp to sauce and toss to coat. Remove from heat. Add 1 cup green onions to shrimp; toss. Transfer to serving plate; sprinkle the remaining green onions on top and serve with rice.

Mmm! This sounds reaaly delicious. It kind of reminds me of Bang Bang Shrimp from Bonefish Grill, which we USED to have nearby, but they left and broke my heart! So, I'll have to try this one to see if it satisfies my craving for theirs! If it does, my daughter will also be thrilled...we used to go there for a girl's "date" B.B. Shrimp and drinks, what fun!

Thanks so much, Irishiz. I joined just to say thank you. I love Yang Chow's Slippery Shrimp so much, and can't get it here in GA. I even called them once to ask them to ship some to me. You have made my day! Now if I can just find their Szechuan Beef (Orange Peel Sauce) recipe I'd be set!
