Kowloon's Lobster Sauce (from Kowloon's of New England Ma)

Verelucky's Note:

I love lobster sauce and this was published in the Boston Herald as an answer to a request. by the way, it has no lobster in it in case you never had it before! I'm revising the quantities because I think they made a mistake on the amount of water. I used more black bean sauce and garlic, subbed the molasses with sugar because I didn't have any molasses and left out the egg. I like my way better!

My version would be boiling seafood shells,such as shrimp,crab or lobster with an onion to bring out the mock seafood flavour. I also do this when I make she-crab soup.
