Delicious! Once the shrimp are fried, the sauce ingredients came together very quickly. I only used 1/2 C cornstarch with 1 egg white and about 2-3 T water for the batter for light coating. Instead of chopping the peppers and onion went ahead and cut them into bigger pieces. Thanks for posting this easy and wonderful recipe powerplantop.
