My family cheers when I say I’m gonna do a Wally recipe that night. And I can still hear your New York accent pop up sometimes too!

[@jokedog]

exactly what i've been looking for thx. thanks for explaining the purpose of adding baking soda into the shrimps. I didn't do that and knew something was off prior to this video.

[@WallyCooksEverything]

Glad it was helpful! And thank you for watching and leaving a comment 🙏

[@iris6756]

Thank you it came out delicious!

[@chikudon1]

Nice and simple. I thought there is so-called lobster sauce but no lobster at all. This is one of my favorite dish and I will try it. Thanks.

[@AVAGASAFARI]

Looks so delicious!!! Great stuff, and might try it this weekend!

[@thomashom7514]

I remembered some restaurants add black bean sauce to this. This was a San Francisco Bay Area favorite.

[@carlcalvin1479]

I do not like black beans in my lobster sauce shrimp. And no soy sauce. This is perfect

[@jimbort_de_breces]

Hey Wally, looks great. Thanks for the EZ PZ receipe. You had your ears lowered.....😎

[@WallyCooksEverything]

Yo Bro! I finally got what you meant about lowering my ears 😂😂😂😂😂😂 You were referring to my hair cut. I swear out of the blue I just figure it out from nowhere 😀 Yeah, my favorite barber closed his shop so I just got really, really lazy to go look for another one.

[@ErinShane-kh7zf]

Only had the dish once in my life it was awesome but not like the look of it.But now I see this video not scared of it any longer this recipe will be on my rotation.

[@getsmartpaul]

Hi Wally, another great dish choice ! It would have been nice to have added the crisply egg noodles or ho fun too ( besides rice ) ! Thanks for Las Vegas ! :)

[@WallyCooksEverything]

You can add it to noodles if you wish. The sauce is not much different than other oyster based Chinese sauces, that is usually added to noodles 😀

[@noonieshell5556]

Hi Wally, could you please suggest other seasonings that I could use to replace msg with. Thanks for your video and recipe. 👏👍🇦🇺😋

[@WallyCooksEverything]

Hello Noonie, I’d add just a bit of soy sauce but not so much it’ll darken the sauce 😃

[@duncanmit5307]

💜💜💜👍👍👍👍looking good💜💜💜👍👍👍👍

[@WallyCooksEverything]

Thank you!

[@venuswarrior8456]

What if I can't eat eggs? what can I use as a substitute?

[@ianscianablo8507]

Hi! What does the chinese cooking wine do for the shrimp?

[@WallyCooksEverything]

Hi Ian, Chinese Cooking Wine is used for flavor. If you don't want to add it, it should be fine 👍

[@ianscianablo8507]

@@WallyCooksEverything Oh no!!! I do want to flavor it! I'm doing it. Thank you! I put lots of flavor in that shrimp even before it hits the wok. I would use fresh minced garlic too but it will burn. So I sprinkle garlic powder on the shrimp and later minced garlic & ginger in the wok-all about flavor.

[@La__Rat]

I like to coat the shrimp with corn starch too. So when I blanch it, I still have a coat outside for the shrimp. Some drop of sesame oil, and white pepper too.

[@haditwithwork]

Wally, when is the lobster coming to the party? Is this like my bank account? You know, the one with no money? All kidding aside, thanks for this recipe. Looks easy enough. Gonna try it soon!

[@WallyCooksEverything]

😂😂😂 You are better off than me. Cause at least you have some money to put in a bank. I think end of month I'll actually be cooking up a lobster or two for a video, Cantonese Style Ginger and Scallion Lobster. American lobsters are expensive in Thailand but I think it'll make a good video. Thank you for watching and commenting as always 👍

[@haditwithwork]

Thanks, Wally. I'll keep an eye out for all your future videos! Please keep em coming! Love your recipes!

[@ianscianablo8507]

Hi! If you decide not to use egg will that sauce thicken if allowed to reduce a bit on medium heat?

[@WallyCooksEverything]

Hi Ian 😀 If you don’t use egg, the sauce will still thicken from the slurry which is combination of cornflour and water as shown in video.

[@ianscianablo8507]

@@WallyCooksEverything Stupid question: does the egg, in general thicken the sauce or is it exclusively that corn starch mixture?

[@juderichard9919]

How would you make this dish spicy

[@WallyCooksEverything]

Hey Jude 😃 I’d chop up a handful of fresh chili’s and cook it up same time as the garlic so it’ll flavor the oil. Sometimes I just add a lot of Tabasco sauce right before I eat this.

[@eternallife8898]

Can we use chicken instead of shrimp?

[@WallyCooksEverything]

Absolutely sure can 👍

[@lauragoldstein2506]

Shrimp with Lobster Sauce is my Absolute Favorite Chinese dish. I don't like peas and carrots. Can I substitute something else? Like sliced water chestnuts? Or snow peas?

[@WallyCooksEverything]

Hello Laura 😃 Snow peas would be best cause will add color to dish. But definitely wouldn’t hurt to add water chestnut.

[@lauragoldstein2506]

@@WallyCooksEverything thank you. What about using sugar snap peas??

[@WallyCooksEverything]

@@lauragoldstein2506 snap peas are fine as well. Just no cucumbers, asparagus and okra 🤣

[@lauragoldstein2506]

@@WallyCooksEverything no problem eliminating cucumber, asparagus or okra. Hate them all! 😊

[@pamelahanna7738]

It's usually brown how do I get that brn color

[@WallyCooksEverything]

Hi Pamela 😃 Yes there is a brown color sauce version. Matter of fact my mom’s lobster sauce is brown cause she adds, fermented black beans, oyster sauce a bit of soy sauce and ground pork. This version I see mostly in American Chinese restaurants in NYC. I will be making a brown sauce version when I can get my hands on some American lobsters 🦞

[@gregphillips.1312]

That does look good but I over cook Shrimp everytime. 😂

[@WallyCooksEverything]

What’s up Greg?! 😃 It’s all in the timing buddy. When shrimps cook they curl up, when it curls to shape of a C it’s cooked. If looks like an O it’s overcooked.

[@patsyfernandes638]

What is the significance of calling it with lobster sauce.

[@WallyCooksEverything]

I think it was to try and make it sound fancy 😄

[@karlstumpfa9837]

That looks a tad too thick/too much cornstarch. Where is the Lobster in the Lobster Sauce?

[@WallyCooksEverything]

There isn’t any 😀 I didn’t name the dish 👍

[@Whisker2134]

Where's the lobster?

[@WallyCooksEverything]

Hi again Lynda 😀 There isn't any. So this sauce was originally made to go over lobster in Chinese cooking. My mother made a variation of this sauce whenever she cooked lobster for Chinese New Years. American Chinese restaurants have taken the sauce and instead of putting it over lobster, used it as a sauce for shrimp instead.
