Anweisungen

Combine shrimp, Shaoxing wine, salt, and cornstarch in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well so the shrimp are evenly coated with a thin slurry.

Mix all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering. Spread the shrimp with minimal overlap. Let cook until the bottom side is light golden, 1 minute or so. Turn to the other side and cook until light golden. Stir a few times until all surfaces turn white. Transfer to a big plate.

Pour in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, garlic, ginger, and green onion. Stir a few times to release the fragrance.

Add the celery. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Add the pepper and cook for another minute.

Add back the cooked shrimp. Stir the sauce again to dissolve the cornstarch completely. Pour into the pan. Quickly stir a few times until the sauce thickens.

Add the cashews, quickly give it a stir and immediately transfer everything to a plate. Serve hot as a main dish.
