How to Make Hot And Sour Shrimp With Spinach And Walnuts

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb shrimp, 2 tablespoons sherry, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons sherry, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon ketchup, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste).
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
  4. Add 1/2 cup walnuts and stir-fry for 1 minute, until fragrant and lightly toasted. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
  5. Add 5 oz fresh spinach to the wok and stir-fry until just wilted, about 1 minute. Remove and set aside on a serving plate.
  6. Add 1 tablespoon peanut oil, 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color), and 2 cloves minced garlic to the wok. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
  7. Add the marinated shrimp and 1/2 cup chopped onion to the wok. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
  8. Pour the prepared sauce into the wok. Stir constantly until the sauce is clear and thickened, about 2 minutes.
  9. Spoon the sauce and shrimp over the spinach.
  10. Sprinkle with the toasted walnuts and serve immediately.
