What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

1 pound shrimp, peeled and cleaned
cornstarch or potato starch
canola oil for frying
1/2 lemon, cut into thin slices
assorted vegetables cut into thin strips
Black Pepper Sauce
1 ounce black pepper
1 ounce garlic
4 ounces tomato ketchup
2 ounces soy sauce
1 1/2 cup chicken stock
3 ounces sugar
Combine sauce ingredients and set aside.
Lightly coat shrimp with starch. Fry in 3 inches of oil until lightly browned. Make sure the oil is hot before you put the shrimp in. You can test the oil by dropping a piece of green onion into the oil. If the onion bubbles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready. After frying the shrimp, set them aside.
In a hot wok, stir fry your favorite vegetables in approximately a tablespoon of oil. Do not overcook. After the vegetables are heated, set them aside. In the same wok, stir fry the lemon pieces. When the lemon pieces are hot (about 2 minutes), add the shrimp back into the wok. Add as much of the pepper sauce to the shrimp as you like. Pour the shrimp, lemons and sauce over the vegetables.

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

I tried this recipe cause I like it so much at PF Chang's, but a change all the proportion and added cornstach to the sauce so it coat's better the shrimps. I didn't put as mush as ketchup as well but added more soya sauce. I'm still doing some adjustments so it can be as good as PF Chang's!!!!

I tried this, I must have cooked the shrimp tooo long. A little advise would be not to submerge the shrimp in the sauce.
