  1. Eating this right now. Pretty good, will make again. Did tweak a bit with some fresh pineapple,and cilantro at end. Added about half cup more water, more garlic, and about I T crushed, red pepper for some zing. I used jumbo, wild, Argentinian shrimp...fantastic! Next time, I might throw in some cherry tomatoes also!
     
  2. Another Pierre Dance winner. This makes up beautifully, with shrimp as well as in a shrimp/chicken combo.The ingredients combine to make for a company quality meal. The sesame oil and rice vinegar makes for a special touch. Love that it tastes as good as it looks. Served on a white platter- makes for awesome presentation. One of those recipes that one keeps close at hand. Thank you Pierre.
     
  3. This is a great sauce. Although I made it with shrimp, it could easily be used on pork or chicken too. You can also vary the vegetables to suit your taste or what is in the fridge. Many thanks for sharing.
     
  4. I was looking for something to do with a bag of large shrimps that I had in my freezer, and came across this recipe.I even went out and bought a large bottle of dry sherry (they didn't have a smaller bottle) So I will just have to make this again and again and again. I made this in my wok exactly as written , only I added a couple more splashes of the chicken broth. Served with rice. I can't wait to have this again. By the way the sauce was perfect and I will use that as a base for many other stir-frys.
     
  5. Made this for supper last night. My cousin is allergic to garlic, so substituted it with lemongrass, and added about a quarter cup of fresh chopped cilantro... Holy Tastebud overload!!! Will certainly be making this again!

Tweaks

  1. I added 1/4 tsp chili flakes for a little heat, some ginger, because I like it and 1 1/2 Tbsp. brown sugar as this was a little salty to me.
     
  2. Great tasting and easy dinner. Awesome stir-fry sauce! I added 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick. I also added 2 tsp. fresh minced ginger to the shrimp and substituted 1 cup snow peas for the green pepper. I chopped the leftover green onion tops for a garnish to make a beautiful (and tasty!) dish. I will try the sauce in many more stir-frys!

I'm a 73 year old male. I live in the desert in Southeast Wasington. Yes, Virginia, Southeast Washington is Desert, Cacti, Sage Brush, Wile E. Coyote, the whole nine yards.The Columbia River flows through the middle of it and is its saving grace. Some of the jobs. I've held are Well Driller, Aircraft Machanic, Handyman, Electrician,Merchant Seaman, And most recently Long haul Driver.My hobbies are cooking, Kite making, and Good movies (plus anything that strikes my fancy) My first cookbook was Fanny Farmer Original Boston Cooking School Cookbook and its still the first of all of my cookbooks that I go to. It has the best Biscuit recipe going and the only change I make to its Cornbread recipe is to add a half teaspoon of Cayenne to bring out the flavor of the cornmeal. I injured my knee and have had the last year off and what I've done is go quietly mad. I'm now semi retired and try to figure out plan 'E'. A, B, C, and D phased out so it's time to move on, where, the hell ever, that is.
