About This Recipe

The shrimp are expertly prepared—slit for maximum flavor absorption and marinated with egg white, cornstarch, and cooking wine to ensure tenderness. Blanching the shrimp and vegetables locks in their freshness, while a savory sauce made with seasoning, salt, cooking wine, and water starch ties everything together. The final touch of golden fried cashew nuts adds a rich, nutty crunch. Quick to prepare yet elegant enough for any occasion, this dish is a must-try for seafood lovers looking for a healthy, restaurant-quality meal at home. Enjoy the harmony of tender shrimp, crisp veggies, and buttery cashews in every bite!
