Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Using a cleaver or knife, slice the shrimp from the back, leaving a small donut-hole in the center, essentially butter-flying the shrimp. Be careful not to cut all the way through the shrimp. Rinse away any veins under cold water. Drain well.
  2. Place the shrimp in a bowl and add the egg white, the cornstatch and 1 to 2 tablespoons of water. Mix well. The consistency should be silky and the color milky.
  3. In a large wok, heat 2 cups of the oil to 280°F or place 1 shrimp in the oil and when bubbles rise from it like Champagne bubbles in a glass,then add the rest of the shrimp. Turn the shrimp gently in the poaching oil. When they are white and fluffy, remove them with a stainless steel strainer or brass metal strainer. Place the cooked shrimp in a colander to drain.
  4. In a small saucepan,mix the chicken broth, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, sherry, garlic ginger, sugar, and chili paste. Stir well. Bring the garlic sauce to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer.
  5. In a clean wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoons of oil to smoking. Add the sliced water chestnuts and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the garlic sauce, stir, and bring to a boil, stirring until thickened. Add the shrimp. Toss and stir a couple of times, until well coated. Stir in one half of the scallions. Top the dish with the other half of the scallions. Serve with Jasmine rice or Asian noodles.
