Taking loose cues from the sweet and sour chicken that’s popular at Chinese-American takeout restaurants, this speedy shrimp stir-fry uses plum sauce, ketchup and rice wine vinegar to create the perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Stir together the plum sauce, ketchup, soy sauce and pepper flakes in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Add the scallion whites, garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until soft, about 1 minute. Add the vinegar and scrape up any brown bits that cling to the bottom of the skillet. Add the plum-ketchup sauce and bring to a simmer. Return the shrimp to the skillet along with the scallion greens and give the skillet a swirl to bring everything together. Divide among 4 plates and serve with white rice if using.
