Szechuan Shrimp with Spinach
Serve this tasty dish with hot cooked rice to soak up the garlicky sauce.

Step 1
Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl, stirring well. Add shrimp to bowl; toss to coat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon, and reserve marinade. Combine broth and cornstarch in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk.

I used fresh minced garlic instead of bottled, cut back on the chile garlic sauce a bit, and used some gorgeous whole, gigantic Gulf shrimp, but other than that cooked as written and we were very happy with the results! The whole shrimp resulted in some messy fingers, but was just so fun. The dish tasted a lot like Chinese takeout, but without the guilt and the grease (of course, this also meant it was sans fortune cookie :( ).
This is a great, super-easy recipe for anyone new to cooking, although you may want to stick with the less-intimidating peeled shrimp.

I really liked this, but made changes. I used 6 cloves minced garlic and a 1" piece of minced fresh ginger (didn't have bottled). I used red wine for the sherry, sriracha sauce for the chili garlic sauce, and 1 box of spinach rather than 2 boxes. Finally, I added 1 seeded jalapeno to add more heat to the recipe. I thickened the sauce while the shrimp were cooking rather than removing them from pan and dirtying another dish. Yummy weeknight dinner was still finished with rice in 30 mins even with these changes.
