SHUN LEE'S SZECHUAN SHRIMP



Shun Lee's Szechuan Shrimp image

This is the first gourmet recipe I ever made. The time I ever used hot sauce, ginger root or sesame oil. It is still a favorite. Please don't let the list of ingredients turn you away from this delicious recipe. The recipe is from a magazine ad for Planters Peanut Oil from the '70's. I only use about 2-3 tablespoons Peanut Oil.
