Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tablespoons peanut oil
3 1/2 tablespoons chopped ginger
8 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup dry sherry
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice or wine vinegar
2 tablespoons hot sauce
4 pounds medium shrimp, shelled


Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat until it smokes.
Add peanut oil, then ginger, reduce heat and add garlic. Stir
in tomato sauce, sherry, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and hot sauce.
Bring to a boil, stirring, until sauce thickens. Pour sauce into
a bowl and cool; add shrimp. Marinate shrimp, refrigerated and
covered, 8 hours (I use a plastic zip-type bag.) When ready to
serve, remove shrimp from marinade, shake off excess and thread
onto skewers. Prepare a charcoal grill or preheat broiler. Grill
or broil shrimp on one side until pink. Turn and cook a few minutes,
until they are just cooked through. Bring marinade to a boil and
serve with shrimp and plenty of hot bread. Yield: 16 servings
