INSTRUCTIONS
Shell and devein shrimp, leaving tail "feathers" on. In large glass or
stainless-steel bowl combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with the sherry, water
and salt, mixing to dissolve cornstarch; add shrimp and toss to coat. Let
stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. In 12-inch nonstick skillet or a
wok heat 1 tablespoon oil over high heat; add shrimp and sherry mixture and
cook, stirring quickly and frequently, until shrimp barely turn pink.
Remove shrimp from pan and set aside. In same pan heat remaining tablespoon
oil; add garlic and ginger and stir-fry briefly (BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN).
Add pork and stir to combine; add 3/4 cup scallions, all but 2 tablespoons
dissolved broth mix, and the sugar and black bean (or oyster) sauce and
bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and return shrimp to pan.
In cup or small bowl dissolve remaining tablespoon cornstarch in remaining
2 tablespoons dissolved broth mix; add to shrimp mixture and, stirring
constantly, return mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 1
minute. Gradually stir in eggs, stirring just until eggs have set; remove
from heat. Arrange hot rice on serving plate, spoon shrimp mixture onto
