• •1/2 cup chicken broth
• •3 tbsp oyster sauce

Directions

1. 1Heat 1.5 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat and stir-fry shrimp for 2-3 minutes until pink, then set aside.
2. 2Add remaining oil to the wok and stir-fry garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. 3Pour in chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and sugar, then bring to a simmer.
4. 4Slowly drizzle beaten eggs into the simmering sauce while stirring to create egg ribbons, then cook for 1 minute.
5. 5Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and turns glossy.
6. 6Return shrimp to the wok, add white pepper and green onions, then toss gently for 1 minute to combine.

💡 Shrimp with lobster sauce thickens quickly once egg or starch is added; lower the heat and stop as soon as the sauce coats the shrimp.
