Title: Local Boyz Hawaiian Cafe Shrimp Stir-Fry
Categories: Hawaii Shellfish
Yield: 1 Servings
| 6 | To 8 raw med-large shrimp shelled and deveined | |
| 1 | ts | Vegetable oil |
| 1 | ts | Olive oil |
| 1/4 | c | Chicken broth; divided |
| 1/2 | c | Broccoli flowerets cut in 1/2-inch chunks |
| 1/2 | c | Cauliflower flowerets cut in 1/2-inch chunks |
| 1/2 | c | Carrots; cut julienne |
| 1/2 | c | Edible pod peas |
| 1/2 | ts | Oriental sesame oil |
| 1 | tb | Oyster sauce |
This meal goes together in a few minutes and has a fresh, clean flavor. chef Noho Marchesi uses very little fat, only enough sesame oil to give the dish its accent, and he stir fries everything quickly to tender-crispness. To make the dish even speedier, try buying pre-cut, stir fry vegetables from your supermarket.
With a small sharp knife, cut 1/2-inch deep lengthwise down the back of the shrimp to butterfly it; set aside. (butterflying the body will make it cook faster).
In a wok or large skillet, combine the vegetable oil and olive oil, and heat slightly over medium heat. Swirl the oil around until it coats the bottom of the wok or skillet. Pour off any excess oil. Turn the heat up to high and add the shrimp and 1 tablespoon of the chicken broth. Stir fry about 1 minute or until the shrimp just begins to turn pink.
Add the broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and edible pod peas all at once and stir fry for 30 seconds. Drizzle in the sesame oil and oyster sauce and stir fry for 15 seconds. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons chicken broth and continue to stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until the vegetables are tender crisp.
