Directions:

Make the sauce by blending the water, soy sauce, sugar and cornstarch. Set aside. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl the pan to coat the sides. Add the garlic and ginger and saute until aromatic, about 15 seconds. Sear the mushrooms in the hot oil until nicely browned and tender, about 4 minutes. Add the sherry, shrimp and water chestnuts. Stir the sauce to thoroughly remix and pour it into the wok.

Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and the ingredients are evenly coated, 2 minutes more. Transfer the shrimp mixture to a warmed serving dish, sprinkle with the green onion and serve immediately.
