Directions

  1. This excellent recipe is a relatively quick and easy dish worthy of gracing any restaurant's menu. My roommate fixed it last night for three people. It disappeared almost immediately. Although it says which it serves four I'd say which it's about two healthy servings. Or possibly maybe which's just because I'm such a glutton. Spinach would be an excellent substitution for the watercress which the recipe calls for.
  2. Any kind of nut could be used instead of walnuts. And rice of course...
  3. A light marinade of Sherry and ginger flavors the shrimp, that are stir-fried with ted bell peppers and green onions. Watercress makes a colorful bed for the shrimp. Offer lemon iced tea to go with the meal. [Or possibly any good beer. S.C.]
  4. Combine shrimp, 2 Tbsp. Sherry and grated ginger in large bowl.
  5. Cover and chill for 30 min. Mix remaining 2 Tbsp. Sherry, chicken stock, soy sauce, catsup, cornstarch, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil and cayenne pepper in small bowl.
  6. Heat 2 tsp. peanut oil in wok or possibly heavy large skillet over high heat. Add in walnuts and stir-fry for 1 minute. Transfer walnuts to plate using slotted spoon. Add in watercress to wok and stir-fry till just wilted, about 1 minute. Divide watercress among plates. Add in 2 tsp. peanut oil, bell peppers and garlic to wok and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add in remaining 2 tsp. peanut oil, shrimp mix and onions and stir- fry for 1 minute. Stir stock mix, add in to wok and cook sauce till clear and thick, stirring frequently, 2 min.
  7. Spoon sauce and shrimp over watercress. Sprinkle with walnuts and serve.
  8. NOTE: I used Jufran sauce rather than catsup. Jufran is a Philippino sauce which's looks and tastes much like catsup. It's made from bananas and other stuff, however and has a more complex and interesting taste. I use it in place of catsup in many recipes as well as on hamburgers, warm dogs and corn dogs. It comes in both mild and warm forms. The mild is not too hotsomewhat like a spicy catsup. The warm stuff is much hotter, although not intolerably so.
  9. If you use this, be prudent about how much cayenne you use, at least the first time till you can see how they balance out.
  10. Makes four servings; about 265 calories per serving.
