Ginger Shrimp

This is quick and easy, it's fast and simple, it's ginger shrimp

Whoa. Whoa is mama's code word for stop, you dummy. Good luck cooking with y'all's mama

So guess who's here? Guess who y'all gonna see tomorrow cooking with me, or sometimes

Suzette and Amy Dupuis. Yay. The savory sisters. Well, who's here with you today

Ooh, Leanne Morgan. No. Leanne Morgan. Jamie Dean, hey, y'all. Good to see you

I'm here today cooking quick and easy with Mom. This is ginger shrimp

But my buddy Leanne Morgan's fixing to come on and cook with me, too. She is that blue-collar comedian that you can hear on the radio

It used to be quick. Now it's a little bit longer, but it's still easy. Okay, I'm sorry

Do you want me to dice some onions? Please, Mom. I got oil, and I put some butter in here

and I put the oil in because it keeps... You know, the butter has a tendency to burn really quick

So a little bit of oil helps slow that down because I want to use both. We're going to put our shrimp in here

Now, Mama's doing about five green onions. There's a lot of green onions in this

It's a ginger shrimp. Say that again. There's a lot of green onions. A lot of green onions in this

It's kind of an Asian flavor. It's got ginger in it, so green onions

And so it's going to be a lot of green onions. All right, well, I'm just chopping all of this, son

I don't know how much you want, so I'm just doing it all. I need a couple of cups, Mom. So this is where we gotta get cooked

Couple of cups, wow. Will you use, please use some of this. What is it

It's corn starch, and make a little slurry for me. Okay. This is gonna thicken it up

Because we gonna put in a cup and a half of our Chicken stock It is And this is what was unusual about this recipe Mom is that instead of adding the shrimp you know they cook really super quick We going to put those in first

so we've got to put the rest of it together pretty quickly. All right, I'm just going to use about a tablespoon

because I think that'll be plenty. You see, as soon as it hits the heat

it starts to turn pink. Now, don't ever overcook your shrimp because they taste like little erasers

Mm-hmm. And remember that... About that consistency, y'all. Yep, it makes it so hard

And see how they're already turning pink? When do you put your onions in

We're going to put everything in right now. Now, I'm assuming that you..

Two tablespoons of fresh ginger grated, y'all. Wow, that's going to take a while

It's going to take a while for you to do two tablespoons. You're a professional mama

But that's all right. You know, these little things... These little things right here come in different sizes

and I think this is one of the smaller ones that grates it extra fine

Ginger's one of those flavors where when you eat it, you know that you're eating that Asian-inspired dish

I love ginger. Yeah, I love it too, and sometimes it can be really hot

Yeah, it can be spicy. You know? I'm going to go ahead and put our chicken stock in

so it can kind of get up to temperature because those onions are going to take a minute to cook

and this will slow down the shrimp just a little bit. Okay, Mama, let's get our onions put in here. Okay

And see, this is, it's kind of thin. All right, son. That's why Mama's done the slurry

that's gonna thicken it up a little bit. Yeah. That ginger looks good, Mama

There you go. That's enough. Okay, good. I think we're right at two tablespoons

You want it in there now son Mm sure Yeah So this is perfect to put over pasta This would be really good over any kind of pasta that you might have Or over rice It would be good on rice too

Y'all know that with my busy schedule that any time I can do something in one pot like this

it's a real go-to recipe for me. It's really simple, and you can put it together with just about one hand

I wish I cooked off some rice, though. It'll take a lot longer if you cook it with your mama. I have not done one thing to slow him down

This is a pretty easy recipe to do, you know, when you got some time to yourself at the house for your family

Well, what am I? No, you're my family, too, Mama. Well, you're my boss

What am I, chopped liver? Let's add a little bit of this

Or you better let that come to a ball. I'm just saying

I ain't saying. and I'm just saying. He's gonna have the lumpiest

you've ever seen if he don't let that come to a ball. Well, we're just about there

And we're boiling. I'm gonna thicken this up. I'm gonna add a little bit of our slurry here

Whoa. Whoa is mama's code word for stop, you dummy. In spite of all that, y'all, we're finished

One more try. All right. It's hot now. It's hot. And I have to say, son, it is delicious

Well, it's your recipe. Yeah, I know. But it just needs white rice

Mommy you want some soy sauce on yours No because I ain got no rice By Mama saying she doesn have any rice

there's 15 people behind her right now just running as fast as they can

trying to find some white rice. No, so let me tell y'all. Ooh, I don't want that many

I ain't got no rice. That's perfect for me. Oh, okay. So let me tell y'all what I keep on hand

At my house for emergencies I love rice So mom's not even gonna

Not even gonna dignify me With the pleasure of tasting What I just cooked

We're gonna talk about rice for the next 15 minutes I'm just telling y'all

I'm eating quick and easy ginger shrimp It's delicious y'all I'm just saying

Good luck cooking with y'all's mama This shrimp is a good place to start, though

It's awesome. I love you, Mom. Thanks. I love you, too. That's a cut, boys

No, it ain't, because I could lick his skin off. I love him. Cut

I love my children so very much. Cut. I'm letting my shrimp... Cut

I'm letting my shrimp cool off, y'all. That's good. So, sure enough, all joking aside

Mmm! This is delicious. You know what it needs? Rice. It's a little bit of rice. Woo

Way to go, son! Good job, Mom. Give me a high five! Give me a high five
