1 lb fresh large shrimp
8oz snow peas
2 to 3 cups peanut oil
1 tbsp stir fry oil

Marinade:
1 tsp shao hsing wine
1 tsp salt
1 ½ tbsp cornstarch

Sauce:
1 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp shao hsing wine
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1 ½ tbsp cornstarch

1. Remove all of the shells and tails from the shrimp and then devein them.


2. Place the shrimp in a bowl and add the marinade in the following steps. First add the shao hsing wine and the salt using your hand to make sure that each piece is thoroughly coated. Then slowly add in the cornstarch again using your hand until it is evenly distributed. Let the shrimp marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.


3. While the shrimp marinate, prepare the snow peas. Snap off the ends and pull down to remove any strings. Then rinse them thoroughly under cold running water, dry them with paper towels, and set them aside.


4. In a large cup, mix together all of the ingredients for the sauce except for the cornstarch. Then set this mixture aside.


5. In a small cup, mix the cornstarch with just a little water until it dissolves. This will be the thickener for the sauce.


6. Once the shrimp have marinated, add the peanut oil to a wok and heat it on high.


7. When the oil is hot (350F) add the shrimp and let them cook for 30 seconds to a minute, or just until they turn pink. Then remove them with a slotted spoon or spatula and place them on a plate lined with paper towels.


8. Remove all of the oil from the wok and wipe it out with a paper towel. Then return it to the high heat and add the stir fry oil.


9. Once the oil is hot add the snow peas and stir fry them for 2 minutes.


10. Then add the sauce and bring it to a boil. Once it starts to come to a boil add the cornstarch mixture and stir until the sauce slightly thickens.


11. Once the sauce thickens, return the shrimp to the wok and stir until everything is thoroughly coated with the sauce.


12. Serve immediately with either white or fried rice. Makes 2 to 3 servings.
