Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons White pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoons Ginger (minced)
- 3 stalks Green onions (chopped, white and green parts separated)
- 3 tablespoons Tomato ketchup
- 1 tablespoons Doubanjiang (fermented chili bean paste)
- 100 milliliters Chicken stock
- 1 teaspoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Sesame oil
Instructions
Season the shrimp with salt and white pepper, then sprinkle cornstarch evenly over them and toss to coat.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the shrimp and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until pink and slightly crispy. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Sauté the garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato ketchup and doubanjiang. Cook for about 30 seconds to release their aromas.
Pour in the chicken stock, sugar, and soy sauce. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss to coat them evenly in the sauce and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with the green parts of the chopped green onions.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or your preferred accompaniment.
