Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Packed Brown Sugar

- 3 cloves garlic (chopped)
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger (peeled & grated)
- 2 Tablespoons Oyster Sauce
- 1 pound shrimp (cleaned and seasoned with a little salt & pepper)
- Cooked Rice for Serving
- 1 Tablespoon Rice Wine Vinegar

- ½ teaspoon Toasted Sesame Oil
- ¼ cup Sherry
- ¼ cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce ( or regular soy sauce)
- 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch (mixed well with ¼ cup of cold water until smooth)
- 3 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- Ground white pepper to taste (you can use black if need be)
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside. 2. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat and add the shrimp and stir fry until pink (about 2 minutes). Remove from wok and set aside. 3. Using the same pan, add in the garlic and ginger and stir to combine. Cook for about a minute. 4. Pour in the sherry. Stir it around, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen all the flavorful bits that may have stuck to the wok. Cook for about 2 minutes to cook off the alcohol. 5. Turn the heat to medium-low and pour in the sauce mixture, then mix in the cornstarch mixture. Stir the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes to thicken, then add the cashews and pepper (to taste). stir to coat everything with the sauce. You can add a little water if the sauce looks too thick. Add the shrimp to the sauce. 6. Sprinkle on the green onions. Serve with cooked rice.
