Szechuan Shrimp

Wow! What a great recipe. This came together very quickly and I can't believe it's low fat, too. I made mostly as directed... I used less shrimp but made extra sauce. I don't have Heinz chili sauce, but I did have a bottle of Thai sweet chili sauce (which was spicier than I expected!) so I used that. I also used powdered ginger because I didn't have gingerroot. When I added the sauce, it became nice and sticky -- just like takeout! I bet the sauce would work really well with chicken too. Thanks for this recipe!

I made this the other night for company who loves spicy foods. It was a bit too spicy (my fault) but delish!! I had used double the amount of shrimp so doubled the spices, and it was a bit too spicy, but was a hit all the same. Next time I will cut back a tiny bit, but other then that, this is a wonderful, easy recipe. Thank you for posting it Sue!

A perfect recipe! Quick, easy, low calorie, filling and very, very tasty. I expect you could also substitute chicken or maybe even pork in this recipe and it would be just as good. We will use this again and again - the boyfriend raved! Thanks for sharing!

This was wonderful. Very easy and quick. I made a couple of changes because of what I had on hand. Frist I didn't have the chili sauce, so I just doubled the ketchup and added horsy sauce and chili powder (it was my best guess at what the chili sauce would taste like) and I also didn't have fresh ginger *gasp* so I used ginger powder. I also used a combination of sesame oil and vegetable oil to do the stir frying. Oh boy these were just wonderful! I will deffinitly repeat, and the next time I think I'll make even more sauce and stir fry some vegetables with the shrimp. Thanks a lot fo posting!!

This is really tasty. I didn't have Heinz chili sauce so used an asian hot chili sauce. Also used whole dried chili pods instead of the flakes. Followed the advice of other reviewers and doubled the sauce. Served it over soba noodles and my side dish was Weight Watchers Stir Fried Chinese Vegetables. Excellent dinner! Thanks Sue for posting.

Great recipe. I followed the sauce recipe to the T, and then used half the shrimp, essentially doubling the sauce and I had an awesome homemade Chinese food. Thanks for posting. O, I served this with brown rice.

I used 2 tsp. Sriracha HOT Chili Sauce instead of Heinz and skipped the red pepper flakes. Orange Muscat Champagne vinegar added an interesting flavor. I'd cut back on the cornstarch next time. Be creative, use what's in the pantry!

Worked out really well. I didn't have green onions, so I used about 1/4 of a green onion. I also added red, orange and green pepper slices. The dish was a hit and would have been 5 stars, but I thought there was a bit too much of a corn starch taste.

Very good flavor, spicy though...but that could have been my ginger chili sauce! I had to add some water to the sauce after it touched the pan because it got very thick. I dusted the shrimp with flour before adding it to the oil, which could have attributed to the thickness when I added the sauce. Overall, a very good, simple and quick recipe. I had everthing on hand and served it over some Uncle Bens Ready Rice (I know, I cheated, but it was so easy and good!!!)

This was a very quick and easy dish to put together. I used whole dried chili's instead of the chili flakes, and asian hot chili sauce instead of Heinz chili sauce. My family thought the flavor was excellent. Thanks for a great recipe Sue.

Lovely, very professional flavour. I used chicken instead of shrimp and it worked great. I also didnt have any chili sauce so I used chili flakes tabasco sauce and another tablespoon of ketchup.I also reduced the ginger to 1 teaspoon as I was using the lazy stuff out a jar. Will have again(tomorrow!!)

I made this recipe following all the instructions above, I didn't have fresh ginger to grate, so I added powdered ginger. My boyfriend and I ate it all, there is not a bit left. We have a recipe book that we write all our favorite recipes in and he licked his lips and said, "This one goes in the book". Thanks for the low cal-high flavor recipe. It was a hit!

Excellent recipe. It was easy to make and much appreciated. It took me a while to prepare because I used fresh shrimp that required cleaning so perhaps I'll try frozen shrimp next time. I find soy sauce to be really salty so I'll try substituting low sodium soy sauce or reduce the quantity and increase water and spices to compensate.

We were really disappointed with this recipe. We cook alot of Asian, & it just didn't have the depth & texture of a true szechuan - the ketchup & Heinz chili sauce (even at one tbsp each) was just too overpowering!! I'm sorry, but we won't be making this again.

YUMMAH!! This was FABULOUS! Ok, don't laugh, but I have never used Sherry or rice wine, and did not have either on hand. I thought about what I had that sounded good, and grabbed the pineapple juice instead. It was fantastic!!! A new favorite for me, I already can not wait to have it again! Thanks for sharing!!
