Hunan Shrimp is a delicious Chinese-style preparation where juicy shrimp are coated in a hot and spicy sauce.<\/p>\n
Fry the shrimp: <\/strong><\/p>\n Transfer cleaned and deveined shrimp<\/strong> to a medium mixing bowl. Pat them dry using a kitchen towel.<\/p>\n Add 2 TBS cornstarch<\/strong> and toss well to coat each shrimp<\/strong> with cornstarch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Heat a flat wide pan over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add 2 TBS of vegetable oil<\/strong> to it.<\/p>\n Add the shrimp<\/strong> to the pan and spread them in a single layer. You want the shrimp<\/strong> to fry not steam; hence it is important to use a wide pan. I used a 12-inch pan for one pound of shrimp.<\/strong> If you are scaling the recipe, then fry them in batches.<\/p>\n Stir the shrimp<\/strong> occasionally while cooking and fry until nicely browned from both sides (4-5 minutes). Remove to a plate.<\/p>\n Do not overcook the shrimp,<\/strong> otherwise, they will become chewy.<\/p>\n Make the sauce:<\/strong><\/p>\n Add 2 TBS of vegetable oil<\/strong> to the same pan and heat over medium-high heat.<\/p>\n Once the oil<\/strong> is hot and shimmery, add garlic<\/strong> and saut\u00e9 it for 3-4 seconds.<\/p>\n Add broccoli florets, celery,<\/strong> and red bell peppers<\/strong> and saut\u00e9 for 15-20 seconds.<\/p>\n Add the fried shrimp<\/strong> back to the pan and mix well.<\/p>\n Stir together 2 TBS cornstarch<\/strong> with chicken broth<\/strong> and add the slurry to the pan.<\/p>\n Add dark soy sauce<\/strong>, oyster sauce<\/strong>, rice vinegar, honey, salt,<\/strong> and pepper,<\/strong> and mix well.<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong>\u00a0Be careful about the extra salt.<\/strong> The sauces already have a lot of salt<\/strong> in them so add a little, taste, and add more if required.<\/p>\n Add red chili paste<\/strong> and mix well again.<\/p>\n Garnish the Hunan shrimp<\/strong> with scallions<\/strong> and serve hot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yield: 4 https:\/\/www.whiskaffair.com\/hunan-shrimp-recipe\/#recipe Hunan Shrimp is a delicious Chinese-style preparation where juicy shrimp are coated in a hot and spicy sauce. 1lb shrimp, cleaned and deveined \u00bccup cornstarch (divided) 4TBS vegetable oil (divided) 2tsp minced garlic 1cup broccoli florets \u00bdcup thinly sliced celery 1red bell pepper (cored, seeded and cut into \u00bd inch cubes) \u00bdcup chicken broth 2TBS dark soy sauce 2TBS oyster sauce 2tsp rice vinegar 1tsp honey \u00bdtsp salt \u00bctsp black pepper powder 2tsp red chili paste Fry…<\/p>\n
