Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds green beans
- 3 cups peanut oil for deep-frying, plus 3 tablespoons for stir-frying
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons minced soaked dried shrimp
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Heat 3 cups of the peanut oil in a large pot to deep-fry temperature (350 degrees F), and fry the beans in batches until tender but still crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer beans to paper towels to drain.
Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a wok or large skillet. Add the scallions and garlic and cook just long enough to release the aromas, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp and green beans and mix well to coat the beans. Stir in the water, soy sauce, sugar, salt and pepper, and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, tossing to heat through. Serve immediately.

I love the crunchy texture of the grean beans and would opt for fresh shrimp instead of the dried shrimp if the smell is too pungeant or if they're hard to find.
