This shrimp with lobster sauce is just like what you'd find at a Chinese restaurant that serves Cantonese cuisine. Despite the name, there's no lobster in the sauce. Serve over white rice.

Ingredients

1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons cooking sherry
1 pound medium shrimp - peeled and deveined
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ pound ground pork
1 cup water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
¼ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup cold water
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
1 large egg, beaten

Directions

Dissolve 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch in sherry in a medium bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat.
Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and stir-fry until pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer shrimp to a plate; leave as much oil in the wok as possible.
Add garlic to the wok and stir-fry for a few seconds, then add ground pork. Stir-fry until pork is no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes.
Mix 1 cup water, soy sauce, sugar, and salt together in a small bowl; pour into the wok and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for about 2 minutes.
Whisk 1/4 cup cold water and 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch together in a small bowl; pour into the wok. Add shrimp and bring to a simmer. Drizzle beaten egg into the wok, stirring quickly as it cooks. Serve immediately.
