I found this on a website and tweaked it, after having this in several restaraunts while living overseas. I cannot find it anyplace stateside so this is the best interpretation of Chili shrimp I could find.

SERVES 1 -2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In wok or skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until hot. Saute Shrimp, garlic, ginger, scallions and chile. Cook a few minutes.
  2. 2
    Add sherry, ketchup, chili sauce, and cornstarch mixture and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until shrimp are done. Serve with rice.
  3. 3
    Sometimes I dust the shrimp with flour before putting them in the oil, to make it like Chen's on iron chef! Enjoy!

Excellent! The WHOLE family loved this. I added 3 extra green onions and used the sauce to make asian slaw (shredded cabbage and carrots). Then I fried the shrimp and added them to the slaw. GREAT over rice, noodles, or in soft tortilla shells.

    Although we really enjoy "hot", even this was too hot for my DH. I too had the Asian Hot Chili Sauce and cut it back to 1 Tbs., after readying the reviews. I will make it again with the Thai chili sauce mentioned in other reviews. Thanks Jessica.

    The garlic, Ginger & Chili is a great combination that makes these prawns burst with flavor. I cut the oil back to 1 tbsp. I used a Thai sweet chili sauce (very hot) instead of our regular chili sauce. I got all the ingredients ready ahead of time and had them in two bowls-the prawns, garlic, ginger, dry chili & scallions in one and the remaining ingredients in another. It took me 5 minutes for the actual cooking - Thanks Jessica for a delicious recipe, to be repeated, for prawns

    Great stuff, although I'm not sure it's great that I ate the "3-4 servings" all by myself! I'm already looking forward to making this again, it was delicious. Thanks!
