Ingredients

1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1 tablespoon Shao Hsing rice cooking wine, or pale dry sherry
1-inch piece peeled fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic
1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 ribs celery, thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
3/4 cup roasted salted cashews (4 ounces)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound peeled and cleaned medium shrimp
3 scallions, thinly sliced white and green, separated

Directions

Mix the soy sauce, sesame oil and wine, in a medium bowl, set aside. Mince the ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a mini chopper.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil, the celery and cashews. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and stir-fry until the celery turns jade green, about 3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a plate.

Return the skillet to high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the shrimp and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and stir-fry until shrimp turn pink and curl up, about 2 minutes. Add the ginger-garlic mixture and the scallion whites, and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Return the celery and cashews to the pan with most of the scallion greens and the reserved soy sauce mixture and stir over the heat for about 1 minute to mix together evenly and blend flavors. Mound the mixture on a platter and garnish with the remaining scallion greens.

Shop Smart: Shao Hsing rice cooking wine is made from fermented glutinous rice. If you can't find it, substitute pale dry sherry.

hits the spot!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is perfect for your Asian food craving! Easy to make, great flavor but not too heavy. Brown rice goes really well with... it too. However, it tastes best when you dont overcook the shrimp! If you are using the frozen shrimp that are already cooked, this can happen pretty easily when using this high heat. Also, right when the shrimp seem done, take it right out of the pan and into a serving dish. This will help the overcooking issue!Read more

Wonderful and light stirfry!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is my favorite stirfry to make! I made it once for a dinner party, and now it's a common request whenever we're having... people over for dinner! It has a wonderful mix of flavors and the cashews add the perfect crunch. It cooks quickly, so be careful not to over cook the shrimp or cashews.Read more

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was very simple and quick to prepare, and delicious! I decided to omit the salt since this recipe called for... salted cashews and a little soy sauce. The only ingredient I did not have in stock was the ginger but it was delicious anyway.Read more

a little boring- needs veggies
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The flavor was good with the ginger, garlic, and red pepper, but while eating it, I was wishing it had other vegetables... besides the celery. mushrooms and red bell pepper might be nice additions. Also, I added a bit more soy sauce than called for in the recipe.Read more
