Chinese Lemon Pepper Shrimp

The original recipe was to coat the shrimp in corn starch and fry them in oil. I used pre-cooked shrimp and simply warmed them in the sauce at the end.

Ingredients:
1# cooked shrimp, peeled
green onions, for garnish
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons fresh garlic (chopped)
½ teaspoon fresh ginger (minced)

4 lemon slices
1/3 cup soy sauce
¾ cup water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
¼ cup dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons course ground black pepper

Prepare by dissolving cornstarch into 3/4c of cold water. Heat oil in wok or frying pan, add garlic, ginger and lemon slices and fry for 30 seconds. Add soy sauce, cornstarch and water and bring to a boil. Add brown sugar, lemon juice and black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes until sauce thickens. Add shrimp and cook until warmed through. Serve over rice and garnish with green onions.
