Shrimp With Snow Peas And Water Chestnuts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb shrimp (uncooked)
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/2 lb snow peas, rinsed, stems and strings removed
1/2 cup sliced scallion
1/2 cup sliced water chestnuts
1 teaspoon cornstarch, dissolved in
3 tablespoons water
hot cooked rice

Preparation

Peel and devein shrimp. Combine the sherry and soy sauce in a medium bowl and add shrimp. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a wok or large skillet over high heat and add the oil. Add ginger and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the shrimp (reserving the marinade) and cook until light pink, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add mushrooms and snow peas and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the snow peas are bright green and crisp-tender. Add scallions and water chestnuts and stir-fry until just heated through.
Add the reserved marinade and cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil and cook until the sauce thickens. Serve.
