Ingredients:
1 lb of shrimps
A bit of scallion ½ inch pieces
A bit of ginger, sliced
1 fl oz of carrots, sliced
1 fl oz of Chinese mushrooms, sliced

A dash of salt and sugar
1 /2 of an egg white

Directions:
1. Mix the shrimps with the marinade seasoning for about 10 minutes.
2. In a bowl make the sauce: add salt, sugar, pepper, sesame oil, oil, corn starch water
3. We are going to blanch the mushrooms for about 30 seconds. By doing this, we shorten the stir fry time later on. Then put it aside.
4. Add 2 cups of oil to high heat and quickly fry the shrimps for about 30 seconds until they turn a pinkish color. By doing this, we are making the texture of the shrimps crispier. Then put aside.

6. Add shrimps, and the sauce slowing while stirring, lastly add a bit of oil to make the color more vibrant.
