Stir Fried Ketchup Shrimp 茄汁蝦碌

January 28, 2023 by Christian Gott - An Island Chef 1 Comment

Stir Fried Ketchup Shrimp 茄汁蝦碌. Today’s recipe may raise a few eyebrows! Ketchup and Worcestershire sauce in a Chinese recipe have I gone crazy? And is it shrimp or prawns?

As to the ketchup trust me this is one of the simplest and tastiest ways, I know of serving prawns.
