Hunan Shrimp

Step 1

Clean the shrimp (we kept the tail on) and marinate it with salt, pepper and cornstarch while you prep the rest of the ingredients.

Step 2

Mix all the ingredients for Hunan sauce in a bowl.

Step 3

Dice all bell peppers, cut the green beans and scallions into inch long pieces. keep the green and white parts of the scallion separate.

Step 4

Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a wok over medium high heat. Add shrimp and sear for a couple of minutes, till they get a little curled up and turn pink. Plate them out and set aside. Don't overcook, as they will continue to cook in the Hunan sauce later.

Step 5

Add remaining oil and turn the heat to high. Add in green beans. Stir and cook for a couple of minutes, till they get little soft. Stir in bell peppers, white parts of scallions, ginger and garlic. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes then mix in the prepared Hunan sauce. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water along with shrimp and stir fry for another 3-4 minutes. Garnish it with green parts of scallions.

Step 6

Serve it piping hot over your favorite steamed rice.
