Ingredients
Preparation and cooking time under 30 minutes
Directions
1 pound medium-size raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground green tea leaves
1/3 cup macadamia nuts
For the marinade:
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons soy sauce
For the sauce:
1/3 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons oyster-flavored sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
To make the marinade, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch and the soy sauce in a bowl and mix well. Add the shrimp and stir to coat evenly. Let stand for 10 minutes.
To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients (chicken broth, oyster sauce, honey, sesame oil and cornstarch) in a small bowl and stir until honey dissolves.
Place a stir-fry pan over high heat until hot. Add the oil, swirling to coat the sides. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add the shrimp and stir-fry until they turn pink, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle the ground green tea over the shrimp and stir to coat evenly.
Stir the sauce once, add to the pan, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the nuts, transfer to a plate and serve. Makes 4 servings.
