  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
Sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce

  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil (or canola oil)

  1. Add shrimp to a large bowl. Mix with Shaoxing wine, salt, white pepper, and cornstarch. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine all sauce ingredients. Stir until sugar and cornstarch dissolve.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water or stock. Avoid microwaving too long to keep shrimp tender.
