A quick and easy meal that is full of spice and flavor. It makes plenty of sauce for serving over rice or lo mein noodles. The whole family loved it.
Ingredients:
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1/2-1 teaspoon chili paste, depending on how hot you like it (like sambal oelek)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 lb extra large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts
1 red bell pepper, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
Directions:
1. Whisk together the broth, oyster sauce, chile paste, and cornstarch in a small bowl.
2. Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
3. Add shrimp and peanuts and cook, stirring, until the shrimp are just barely cooked (2 - 3 minutes). Transfer them to a plate.
4. Heat the sesame oil in the skillet, and saute the bell pepper until just barely tender (about 3 minutes). Then add the garlic and ginger to the skillet with the bell peppers and cook, stirring, until fragrant (about 1 minute).
5. Add the broth mixture to the pan with the pepper mixture. Bring to boil. When boiling, add the shrimp and peanuts and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 1 minute. Make sure the shrimp are done (but not overcooked).
6. Serve over rice or lo mein noodles.
