Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plum sauce (60 ml)
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce (60 ml)
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce (10 ml)
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (1 ml)
- 1 1/4 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined and tails removed (570 g)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (15 ml)
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts kept separate)
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger (5 g)
- 3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar (45 ml)
- Cooked white rice, for serving, optional
Instructions
- Combine the plum sauce, tomato sauce, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl and set it aside.
- Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Warm the vegetable oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Place the shrimp in the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are just done, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove them and place them on a plate.
- Add the white parts of the scallions, garlic, and ginger to the pan and sauté, stirring constantly, until they become soft, roughly 1 minute. Pour in the rice vinegar and scrape any stuck bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the plum and tomato sauce mixture and let it gently simmer. Return the shrimp to the pan, toss in the green parts of the scallions, and give everything a good mix to combine. Serve the dish on 4 plates, with white rice on the side if desired.
