Stir Fried Ketchup Shrimp 茄汁蝦碌
You can use fresh shrimp for this recipe but good quality frozen shrimp are a good alternative. Try to get hold of some decent sized meaty prawns which will really taste great.
Ingredients
- 12 large fresh Shell-on Shrimp
- 2 Spring Onions washed and trimmed
- 1 large piece Stem Ginger finely grated
- 3 cloves Garlic peeled and very finely sliced
- 1 small Red Chilli very finely sliced
- 3 tablespoons Tomato Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Rice Wine
- 1 tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce
- ½ tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- A pinch of Caster Sugar
- 50 ml Vegetable Oil
Equipment
- 1 Wok
Instructions
- Heat half the vegetable oil in your wok until it just starts to smoke.
- Add the shrimp and fry for thirty seconds on each side so the shells are starting to colour.
- Turn the heat down and add the remaining oil and the garlic, toss in the hot wok for thirty seconds before adding the ginger.
- Give the wok a couple of flicks or stir then add the ketchup, soy, rice wine, sugar and soy sauce.
- Increase the heat until the sauce starts to bubble and reduces slightly and the shrimp is cooked. Stir constantly to prevent sticking and burning.
- Cut the spring onions into short, very thin strips.
- Plate up the shrimp and garnish with spring onions and chilli slices.
