Awesome recipe. As good as any I've had in any restaurant, and I've had it in many "authentic" places. I added a little green onion and a few water chestnuts. Otherwise, I followed the recipe pretty closely. I can now cross this one off of my bucket list

Would never think to make this dish for my family. My H. asked me to make it for him. He loved it. Very easy to make. I also used chicken stock instead of water.

Really good recipe, but I have thought the best Shrimp with Lobster Sauce have the fermented black beans added (should have at any Asian store). Just soak a handful and throw them in when browning the pork and garlic. I added these and this recipe is spectacular!

Oh man! This recipe SO GOOD!!! And, very authentic! The only thing I did different was that I added some about a tablespoon of black bean paste. It reminds me childhood when my Dad would bring my brother and I to this one Chinese restaurant when we were living in Los Angeles. You know? The kind of Chinese joint where they have their Peking ducks hung in the window...And, they served their Shrimp w/ Lobster Sauce with black bean sauce (not too much, it's very strong). I never knew it was so easy! Thanks for bringing one of my favorite dishes from a restaurant I can no longer go to into my kitchen:)

Lots of prep but once prep is done, everything goes quickly. Have made several times with no changes. Better than most Chinese restaurants.

Excellent dish! I have tried making my own Shrimp with Lobster Sauce at home making up the recipe as i go, but this recipe is amazing. I added 1/4 cup of frozen peas.

This is pretty good, but I added MSG (I can't help it--I'm an MSG nut) and also fermented black beans. My father learned his trade in the big Chinatown restaurants in DC years ago, and you gotta have those fermented black beans.

This was surprisingly good. I did not have any gr.pork and omitted it, as others did. Instead, I added broccoli, carrots, onions and doubled the soy sauce mixture. Not the greatest Asian shrimp dish, but I would probably make it again. I even got my 4 1/2 yr old whose extremely pick to eat some. Served over steamed rice.

I did not care for this recipe, and I measured everything exactly to the "T". The shrimp mixed w/the cornstarch and Sherry is great, but it goes down from there. Way too salty!

I have to put four stars because I changed it a bit. I added onion with the garlic and omitted the ground pork. It was GREAT. Hubby and kids also loved it!

Very good recipe. I dont always have ground pork on hand, but its still good without it. As other reviewers, I substituted chicken broth for the water and sprinkled a few stalks of chopped green onions at the end. Very short prep time as well, especially if you buy e-z peel shrimp. Great for weeknight dinners.
