     Title: Terry's Somewhat Pacific Shrimp
Categories: Asian, Shrimp
  Servings: 4

      4 sl turkey or regular bacon
  1 1/2    green bell peppers cored and
           cut into nice fat wedges
    1/2    whole onion; cut into nice
           bite size pieces
           bits of raw cauliflower and
           broccoli
    1/4 c  dry sherry
      2 TB catsup
    1/2 c  chicken stock or vegetable
           stock
      2 TB soy sauce
           FOR THE SHRIMP:
      1    dozen shrimp peeled and
           deveined
      2    egg white
      2 TB corn starch
    1/4 c  Oil; peanut or regular olive
           oil

Based on a dish at our local Chinese restaurant. Shrimp with bacon
in the delicate pinkish sauce. You'll recognize the sauce as it's
used on many Chinese restaurant dishes. The shrimp had the lightest
kind of batter.

I recreated it with the help of a guy on rec.food.recipes who was a
chef/cook at one of the Marriott restaurants.

Render the turkey bacon (or pancetta or American bacon) in saute
pan. Add onion and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the bell
pepper, skin side down and brown just a little. Add any available
little bits of raw broccoli and cauliflower you might have on hand.
Add the dry sherry and cook for a minutes, then add the catsup and
the vegetable stock. Cover and cook just until starting to
tenderize.

In a small bowl mix the egg white with the cornstarch. Add the
shrimp and mix. In a saute pan heat some oil and when hot add the
shrimp. When crispy on the outside but still underdone add to the
vegetable mixture. The hot veg mixture will continue to cook the
shrimp

Serve with hot rice.
