Shrimp with Longjing Tea

This is a classic Chinese dish that combines the delicate flavor of Longjing tea with the sweet taste of shrimp.

Ingredients - Serves 4

In a bowl, combine the shrimp, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat.
Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the shrimp and stir-fry until they turn pink, about 2-3 minutes.
