Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 large Egg (lightly beaten)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 3 Scallions (sliced, green and white parts separated)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of water until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and white parts of the scallions. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, just until they turn pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, low-sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.
Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce slightly thickens.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour the beaten egg into the sauce while stirring gently to create silky egg ribbons.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss them in the sauce until evenly coated. Cook for 1-2 minutes to ensure the shrimp are heated through.
Garnish with the green parts of the scallions and serve immediately over steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a lighter option.
