Perfect dinner this evening!
Let's call it "Hoisen Shrimp." A Chinese dish that takes 5 minutes to make and tastes great!

500gm fresh shrimp or prawns
6-8 Scallions (Green Onions, white and green parts)
1/2 cup Hoisen Sauce (easy to find in Asian Markets or large supermarkets. Chinese name is Hoisen Sauce, Japanese call it Tenmanjan. Very sweet sort of BBQ sauce...)
Big TBS minced garlic
Big TBS grated fresh ginger (do NOT use ginger powder)
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbs dry white wine (I use dry Sherry)
2 Tbs Dark [sweet] Chinese Soy sauce (do NOT use Japanese soy sauce for this dish.)

Peels and butterfly the shrimp. Remove black 'vein.'
Cut Scallions into 1" pieces
Mix together Hoisen, Sherry, Soysauce

In a hot wok, heat 2 TBS oil, add garlic, ginger, and salt, and stir 30 seconds.
Add shrimp and stir until just pink... about two minutes
Add scallions and stirfry 30 seconds
Add Hoisen mix and stirfry one-two minutes. Keep everything moving!
Done.

Serve over rice. Eat. Smile. Good stuff...
