Preparation

Step 1

Combine Black Pepper Sauce ingredients and set aside.

Lightly coat shrimp with starch. Fry in 3 inches of oil until lightly browned. Make sure the oil is hot before you put the shrimp in. You can test the oil by dropping a piece of green onion into the oil. If the onion bubbles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready. After frying the shrimp, set them aside.

In a hot wok, stir-fry your favorite vegetables in approximately 1 tablespoon of oil. Do not overcook. After the vegetables are heated, set them aside.

In the same wok, stir-fry the lemon pieces. When the lemon pieces are hot (about 2 minutes), add the shrimp back into the wok. Add as much of the Black Pepper Sauce to the shrimp as you like. Pour the shrimp, lemons and sauce over the vegetables.
