Description

Ingredients

• 8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined tail-on
• 4 strips bacon
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 3 cloves of garlic, either minced or whole cloves
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced carrot
• 1/2 cup snow peas (small handful)
• 1/2 cup baby corn (small handful)
• 1/3 cup water or chicken stock
• 1 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce (to taste)
• Salt (to taste)
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water

Directions

• Cut the strips of bacon in half lengthwise. This should give you 8 thin strips of bacon total. Wrap each shrimp with one thin strip of bacon.
• Season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat up cooking oil in a large shallow frying pan over medium-high heat. Place the bacon wrapped shrimp on to the pan. Dont move them! Let them sit for a minute, then use a pair of tongs to flip them over to cook the other side for another minute.
• Remove the bacon wrapped shrimp from the pan. Set aside.
• Toss the garlic in the same frying pan you used to cook the shrimp. If youre using whole cloves of garlic, get the cloves really brown for a really rich, roasted garlic flavor. If using minced garlic, just fry till aromatic. Be careful not to burn it!
• Add the carrots, snow peas and baby corn. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
• Add water or chicken stock and soy sauce to the pan. Make sure you scrape the bottom of the frying pan well - thats where all the flavor is! (Make sure you use a wooden spatula so you dont scratch your frying pan)
• Add the cornstarch mixture (cornstarch + water). Let it boil for a few seconds before turning off the heat. The sauce should thicken up really quickly.
• Serve immediately with steamed rice.
• Enjoy!
