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!

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!
