SWEET AND SOUR SHRIMP

Category: Fish and Seafood

4 lb large shrimp, cleaned, rinsed and dried
1 cup flour
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp baking powder
2 large eggs, well beaten
3 tbsp water
2 tsp salt

Sauce:
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 cup syrup from canned sweetened pineapple
2 tbsp soy sauce
4 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 large green pepper, cut into chunks
4 to 6 slices pineapple, cut into chunks

In small bowl, combine flour, 2 tbsp cornstarch, baking powder and salt. In separate bowl, beat eggs with water. Dip shrimp into egg mixture, and then into flour mixture. Deep fry quickly. Arrange on paper towels on cookie sheet. (Can be warmed in oven before serving with sauce.)

For sauce, heat chicken stock, pineapple syrup, vinegar, soy sauce and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Mix water and cornstarch to make a paste, and add to pineapple mixture, stirring until thickened. Add pepper and pineapple, and heat, but do not cook. Place warm fried shrimp in a heated serving dish, and pour hot sauce over top.
