Terrific Shrimp!

Here is a simple yet delicious and tasty shrimp dish that I love to make. ITS EASY TOO! Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds shelled and devained large shrimp 21/25's are fine. You can use the 12's if you want bigger ones. 3 garlic cloves, sliced razor thin. One 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced. 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper or to taste. 1 large egg white. 2 teaspoons cornstarch. 3/4 cup ketchup. I know, but that is the secret to this dish. 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock. 1 tablespoon sugar. 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper. White works best, black will do. 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt. 1/4 canola oil 3 scallions, thinly sliced. 1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro. Directions: 1. In a large bowl, toss shrimp with the garlic, ginger, red pepper, egg white and 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch until well-coated. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk the ketchup with the broth, sugar, pepper, salt and the remaining 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. 3. In a very large skillet, or wok, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the shrimp and stir-fry over high heat until they begin to turn pink. Add the ketchup mixture and simmer until the shrimp are cooked, about 2 minutes. Stir in the scallions and cilantro and serve with some stir-fried noodles or white or brown rice. GUARANTEED TO PLEASE! ENJOY!
