Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cooking sherry (the cheap stuff works fine for this recipe!)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1½ lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (or teaspoons dried)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced or pressed
  • 2 large scallions, chopped (feel free to use a small mild onion instead)
  • ½ lb trimmed snow peas  (just snap the ends off)
  • 1 can baby corn (drained)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Equipment

  • 1 small bowl
  • 1 large nonstick skillet

Method
 

  1. Combine the hosin sauce, soy sauce, sherry, honey, and cornstarch in a small bowl, and set aside.
  2. Heat 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add the shrimp and stir-fry until light pink (about 3-4 minutes). Transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside.
  3. To the skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and scallions and stir-fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the snow peas and baby corn and stir-fry another 3 minutes, until the peas are bright green.
  4. Stir in the hoisin mixture and the reserved shrimp. Bring to a low boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened (just about 1 - 2 minutes). Remove from the heat and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
